UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A U.N. team led by senior adviser Lakhdar Brahimi arrived in Baghdad on Sunday to advise Iraqis on an interim government after the U.S.-led occupation ends on June 30, the United Nations said.

"There they will cooperate with the parties to assist them in the transitional process," said a U.N. statement released in New York. The world body does not announce staff visits to Iraq in advance for security reasons.

Another U.N. team led by Carina Perelli, head of the U.N. electoral unit, arrived in Baghdad a little over a week ago.

The teams were sent at the invitation of the 25-member Iraqi Governing Council and their visits were also endorsed by the U.N. Security Council, which issued a statement calling on all the parties in Iraq to fully cooperate with their work.
