Iraq's Foreign Minister Naji Sabri said Iraqi and UN delegations would hold a third round of talks in Vienna between July 5-6 on letting arms inspectors back into Iraq, Iraqi satellite television reported. 

 

"I believe that the next round of talks will take place in Vienna, on the fifth and sixth of July," Sabri said. 

 

The talks would be held in the Austrian capital, "in light of the enormous constraints created by the US authorities for the Iraqi delegation" to visit the UN headquarters in New York, Sabri said, according to AFP

 

The United Nations confirmed last Tuesday that Secretary General Kofi Annan will hold a third round of talks with Sabri in Vienna in early July. (Albawaba.com)
