Pakistani Astronaut to Join Chinese Space Station

Last year, China and Pakistan signed a cooperation agreement for astronaut selection and training. The selection process is progressing smoothly. According to the flight mission plan, one Pakistani astronaut will later perform a short-term flight mission as a payload specialist, conducting scientific experiments for Pakistan on the Chinese space station. Additionally, the China Manned Space Agency will continue to promote cooperation projects with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. China always welcomes international partners to participate and share in the achievements of China’s manned space development, working together to advance global space technology, promote the peaceful use of space, and make greater contributions to the benefit of all humanity.
