China successfully launched a Pakistani communication satellite, codenamed PakSat MM1, on Thursday via a Long March 3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province. Mission insiders hailed the feat as a landmark in technological cooperation between the two countries. They expect the successful deployment of the satellite to significantly boost Pakistan’s comprehensive social and economic development, ensure the security of its communications, and enhance its aerospace technology and industrial capabilities.
Additionally, the satellite’s launch is anticipated to play a major role in advancing and promoting China’s foreign strategies, such as the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the accelerated construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), they said.
This satellite project is a milestone in cooperation between China and Pakistan and is expected to revolutionize communication in the country and serve as a giant leap toward a digitally connected Pakistan.
