By Milad Fashtami - Trend:

A delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is scheduled to arrive in Iranian capital, Tehran on Oct.6.

The delegation is headed by IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Safeguards Tero Varjoranta.

IAEA representatives will hold talks with Iranian officials during their visit.

Iran's Ambassador to the IAEA Reza Najafi earlier expressed concern about Iran's secret nuclear information obtained by the IAEA leaking out, Press TV reported.

"It is regrettable that classified information in the agency has not been protected again, and while Iran and the agency were busy with planning [the meeting], the news was published by a Western media outlet," he said.

"This issue once again confirms Iran's misgivings that spying exists in the agency," Najafi said.

He also called on IAEA Chief Yukiya Amano and other officials to fulfill their responsibilities regarding the confidentiality of information obtained from Iran.

Iran and the IAEA signed a joint statement on November 11, 2013, to outline a roadmap for mutual cooperation on certain outstanding nuclear issues.

Under the November deal, Tehran voluntarily agreed to allow the agency's inspection of certain nuclear energy sites.

IAEA inspectors have already visited Iran's Arak heavy-water plant and Gachin uranium mine.
