China says it is gravely concerned and firmly opposes the U.S., Britain and Australia consulting with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding a plan to provide Canberra with nuclear-powered submarines, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Thursday.

"The U.S., Britain and Australia are running an Anglo-Saxon cabal, pushing hard for nuclear submarine cooperation and coercing the International Atomic Energy Agency to endorse it," foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a regular news briefing in Beijing.

Last week, the AUKUS alliance unveiled details of a plan to provide Australia with nuclear-powered attack submarines. The IAEA then released a statement saying the U.S., Australia and Britain must implement safeguards and are committed to global nuclear non-proliferation with respect to the submarine deal.

Wang also said China welcomes Honduras' positive statement on growing ties with them, while denying allegations that Honduras demanded $2.5 billion in aid from Taiwan.
