Minister, how concerned are you that China and Russia will seek to obstruct IAEA board approval of the safeguard arrangements that will be required to implement the AUKUS nuclear submarine program? Are you concerned that AUKUS will be hostage to other issues on the IAEA agenda—Iran's nuclear ambitions and what to do with North Korea? What is your diplomatic strategy to overcome these risks?
