IAEA Spokeswoman Gill Tudor said Saturday that the meeting would take place on May 14 and 15 at the Iranian diplomatic mission in Vienna, Reuters reported.
"The purpose is to continue the negotiations started early this year," Tudor said.
Iran's Ambassador to the IAEA Ali Asghar Soltanieh had announced the date and venue of the talks on Friday.
Soltanieh said the main aim of the talks would be to devise a framework for answering questions about Iran’s nuclear energy program, adding that Tehran wants to expand its cooperation with the agency.
On February 21, a high-ranking delegation headed by IAEA Deputy Director General Herman Nackaerts and Assistant Director General for Policy Rafael Grossi visited the Iranian capital, Tehran, to hold talks about further cooperation on Iran's nuclear energy program.
The visit was preceded by another trip to Iran by a team of the agency’s inspectors on January 29.
A new round of talks between Iran and the IAEA comes as Tehran and the P5+1 (Britain, France, Russia, China and the United States plus Germany) are preparing to hold another meeting in Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on May 23.
