In a landmark development for China-Pakistan space cooperation, China announced on Thursday that a Pakistani astronaut will be included in one of its space missions. The news was reported by Chinese state media and marks a new phase in the two nations’ joint projects.
According to media reports, the Pakistani astronaut will participate in the mission as a “payload expert” for a short duration. This inclusion aligns with the medium-term plan for the Chinese space station.
This collaboration is set to deepen the partnership between the two countries. The Pakistani astronaut will travel to China to train alongside Chinese astronauts, an experience that is expected to significantly strengthen space technology cooperation between Pakistan and China.
