An Ecuadorian government minister is set to visit Wikileaks founder Assange at Australia's London embassy where he has been put to exile for almost a year as he is needed for questioning in Sweden over sexual assault allegations by two women.

Assange fears extradition over a Wikileaks' publication of confidential information in relation to the allegation, the Daily Star reports.

According to the report, while Assange has denied the sexual allegations made against him, Ecuadorian foreign minister Ricardo Patino plans to hold discussions with British foreign secretary William Hague over Assange's future.

Assange has been at the embassy since June last year and has been granted political asylum, the report added.
