SG: I had a very constructive discussion with Vice-President Izzat Ibrahim on the whole question of the Iraq-UN relationship and the question of the sanctions review that is going on. I also had the chance to brief him on my last meeting with [Iraqi] Foreign Minister [Mohammed Said] Al Sahaf, and we discussed the possibility of the next meeting which will probably take place in May in New York to pursue our search for a way out and to break this impasse.*****
