The deputy prime minister and defence minister, Richard Marles, spoke to ABC AM Radio from London following a meeting with the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak.

Marles would not be drawn into whether he discussed with Sunak the possibility of Australia acquiring British built nuclear submarines under the Aukus deal but said when the announcement is made it will be a genuinely trilateral effort."

Prime Minister Sunak commented on just how full the agenda is between our two countries and how much that is making - perhaps our oldest and most historic relationship - one which is deeply relevant in in the contemporary moment and certainly Aukus is central to that.

And we're close to announcement and I'm not about to preempt that now. But I think what you'll see is when we ultimately do announce the optimal pathway that we've been working on with both the United States and United Kingdom, that what it really is, is a genuinely trilateral effort to see by the UK and the US provide Australia with a nuclear powered submarine capability.

We're confident that what we will be announcing in the coming weeks is a pathway that will be able to be delivered by all partners on time.
