TEHRAN, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano will visit Iran on Nov. 11 and an agreement is likely to be yielded between the two sides, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran ( AEOI), said on Tuesday.

Amano has accepted an invitation extended to him to visit the Islamic republic to lead the planned talks between Iran and the IAEA in Tehran, Ali-Akbar Salehi, the AEOI head, was quoted as saying by Press TV.

Iran's atomic chief expressed hope that Tehran and the IAEA would reach an agreement and issue a joint statement.

"We are ready more than before to cooperate with the agency," Salehi said, adding that "we are optimistic about the future of the talks."

Following Salehi's remarks on Tuesday, the IAEA said in a statement that Iran's invitation has been considered by the IAEA director general and he is "expected to visit Iran on Nov. 11."

Head of the UN atomic watchdog and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met on Oct. 28, with Araqchi saying that the meeting was "very useful and constructive."

Earlier in October, Salehi announced that Iran was prepared to voluntarily cooperate with the IAEA on "outstanding issues" related to its nuclear program.

The IAEA has held 12 rounds of meetings with Iran since 2011, but no progress has been made over the inspection framework. The document should be designed to facilitate the inspection of Iran's nuclear program.

Iran is suspected by the UN nuclear watchdog to be conducting possible experiments on developing nuclear weapons which Tehran denies, saying that the agency is influenced by misleading intelligence provided by Western spy agencies.

On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif said in an interview with France 24 TV channel that a deal with the world powers over Iran's nuclear program is "possible" in the upcoming Geneva talks.
