Peace talks between the Syrian government and opposition will resume in Geneva on 13 April, United Nations special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura announced on Thursday, quoted by satellite TV channel Al-Arabiya on Twitter.
The talks, which were paused on 24 March had been due to re-start on 11 April, according to the UN.
But Syrian government negotiators will only arrive in Geneva after parliamentary elections are held in the country on 13 April, the UN said earlier this week.
The world body does not recognise Syria's upcoming polls. It is trying to reach a peace deal that will see fresh elections held with 18 months, in which opposition candidates are included.
To date, De Mistura has been leading indirect negotiations between the two sides in the peace talks. These have remained deadlocked over the fate of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, with the opposition demanding Assad leave power before any transitional government is agreed.
The Syrian government has so far refused to negotiate on Assad's future.
