Chinese Premier visits ISRO Satellite Centre
April 10, 2005

Mr Wen Jiabao, Premier of State Council of the Peoples Republic of China,
visited ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore, today (April 10, 2005). He was
briefed on the Indian space programme by Mr G Madhavan Nair, Chairman, ISRO.
After the briefing, the Chinese Premier was shown the facilities at the
Centre. The Chinese Premier evinced keen interest on the Indian space
programme.

It may be noted that India has a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinese
National Space Agency on cooperation in the application of space for
peaceful uses. A team from China has visited India and an Indian team
visited China earlier to share the experiences of both the countries and to
identify areas of cooperation in the application of space technology.

The visit of Chinese Premier today is expected to provide further impetus to
explore further areas of cooperation in the area of space applications.
