Ecuador said it will let Swedish officials interview Julian Assange at its embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has been sheltering since June 2012, ABC News reported on Thursday.
In a statement, the foreign ministry said a letter has been sent by the Ecuadoran Government to set up a meeting with Swedish officials at the embassy in London.
The meeting is to take place "in the coming weeks," the statement said.
Prosecutors in Sweden want to interview Mr Assange in connection with a 2010 rape allegation against him.
The 45-year-old Australian sought refuge in the Ecuadoran embassy in London in June 2012 after exhausting all his legal options in Britain against extradition to Sweden.
