“This is possible because Pakistan and China enjoy amiable relations embedded in trust and confidence,” Masood Khan said in an interview ahead of the launch of Pakistan’s communication satellite, Paksat-1R.
The satellite is due to be launched from Xichang in China in the second week of August. Paksat-1R will replace Paksat-1 which is likely to complete its useful life this year.
“Launching of a communication satellite is going to be a symbolic development in Pakistan-China relations, as this will broaden the horizons of our cooperation,” Khan said.
