China's most renowned astronaut Yang Liwei has called for future cooperation between the two countries.
While efforts have been made over the last ten years to undertake joint space ventures between China and the US, difficulties stemming from economic, diplomatic and security tensions have hampered progress. "I think the two countries should proactively implement the intent expressed in the joint communique to eliminate obstacles and promote exchange and cooperation in our space programs," said Liwei.
China's most renowned astronaut said on Friday his country and the United States should make good on their presidents' promises to cooperate in space.
