ReutersWednesday, 23 Sep 2009 02:46pm EDT UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A speech to the U.N. General Assembly by a representative of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya's government has been postponed from Saturday to Monday, a U.N. official said.
Zelaya's foreign minister, Patricia Rodas, had been on the list of speakers for Saturday's general debate, according to the U.N. General Assembly's website earlier on Saturday, but her name was later removed.
A spokesman for the General Assembly said the speech had been postponed but gave no reason for the delay.

The General Assembly passed a resolution in June stating it only would recognize Zelaya's government and urging his reinstatement. The de facto government that deposed him says he violated the constitution and was removed legally on the orders of the Supreme Court.
The United States, which supports Zelaya's reinstatement, hopes an Organization of American States mission aimed at bringing the two sides together in talks will be sent to Honduras early next week, a U.S. official said on Saturday.
