China and Pakistan had inked a space exploration agreement in 2019 which was hailed as “ushering in a new era of collaboration in space science” between the all-weather allies. The white paper is the biggest revelation after this agreement.
This development comes in the backdrop of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirming that its human space mission, Gaganyaan, was back on track and that the space center was ready to launch over five satellites in three months. ISRO is also set to launch the Chandrayaan-3 after its second lunar mission resulted in a partial failure.
