China's space station has established cooperation with around 20 countries, including Russia. China expects to complete the building of its space station by the end of this year and to put it into operation next year. Will the international cooperation on the space station go smoothly amid the complex international situation? Will there be any obstacles or problems in this regard? What are your expectations or concerns? Thank you.

Hao Chun:

Exploring the unknown universe and developing space technology are a common cause of humanity, which requires the concerted effort of all nations. Throughout the development of manned spaceflight, international cooperation is also a historical trend that promotes continuous progress toward a higher level. China has been upholding the principles of peaceful utilization, equality, mutual benefits and shared development in its development of manned spaceflight. It has signed space cooperation agreements with many countries and international organizations, carried out a series of cooperation and exchanges, and implemented a range of cooperation programs, yielding fruitful research results. We will certainly keep acting under the guidance of the principles and carry out more in-depth exchanges and cooperation with countries committed to the use of outer space for peaceful purpose. We hope to make China's space station a platform which promotes the building of a community with shared future for mankind. We would like to work with astronauts and teams of space scientists all over the world to explore the vast universe and bring more benefits to humanity. Thank you.
