China congratulates Pakistan with remote measurement of satellite launch

China has expanded hot congratulations to Pakistan with the successful launch of its new remote Satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center and confirms their close bilateral collaboration in science and technology.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad Pakistan’s performance praised after a tweet from the Minister of Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal celebrating the milestone.

“May this satellite further strengthen our iron brother’s capacity in the field of soil resource examination and the prevention of disaster and relief,” the embassy said in response.

The launch is seen as a continuation of in-depth strategic ties between the two countries, especially during the umbrella of the China-Pakistanic Economic Corridor (CPEC), which includes collaboration in space technology.

Pakistan successfully launched its latest remote Satellite from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC), said the Foreign Ministry.

The launch was performed by Suparco, Pakistan’s National Space Agency, in collaboration with China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and Microsat China.

The ministry said the satellite would increase Pakistan’s capacity to high resolution, around the clock round earth observation. It will support a number of areas, including disaster management, urban planning, environmental protection, agricultural monitoring, food security, climate change analysis and water resource management.

The satellite is part of an integrated soil observation system and is expected to increase Pakistan’s socio -economic development and sustainability efforts.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar paid tribute to engineers and technical teams from Suparco and its Chinese partners for their “exemplary cooperation and unshakable commitment.”

“This performance confirms Pakistan’s status in the community of space nations,” says the Foreign Office’s statement. Officials say the satellite will also improve the early warning systems and help respond to environmental risks more effectively.

Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal also congratulated the nation with the successful launch and called it “another proud moment” of the country.

In a post on his official X -grip, he said the performance reflects the dedication and expertise of Suparco’s team and marks a new milestone for Pakistan’s space program.
