International Atomic Energy Agency director-general Rafael Grossi says his agency will 'roll up our sleeves' to complete the 'quite complex' exercise of approving the AUKUS submarine deal.
Mr Grossi says it's "no secret" that China and Russia have launched a furious diplomatic effort with his agency to push back against the AUKUS proposal.
"At the technical level we have a lot of work to do, we have to roll up our sleeves and do it," Mr Grossi has told the ABC. Director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi met with Penny Wong in Adelaide. "It's painstaking work, but we have started and I'm confident that we will be able to have a successful outcome."
