Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif said that Pakistan will launch its first space-manned expedition to China’s space station in partnership with the friendly country.
Speaking at a ceremony following the signing of a cooperation agreement between China Manned Space Agency and Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPPARCO), the prime minister praised the Chinese government for yet another excellent move to strengthen bilateral cooperation in this area.
PM Shehbaz said that under the dynamic leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping, not only the space programme is progressing speedily but also mega projects in other sectors were built in Pakistan under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which had really transformed the country’s landscape.
PM Shehbaz said that Pakistan’s participation in the China Space Station programme reflects the deep-rooted ties between the two countries and will contribute to mutual knowledge-sharing and the broader vision of peaceful space exploration for the benefit of humanity.
