U međuvremenu, Bijela knjiga napominje da Kina poziva sve zemlje da izvrše-dubinske razmjene i saradnju u svemiru na osnovu jednakosti, obostrane koristi, mirnog korištenja i inkluzivnog razvoja.
Više saradnje u selekciji i obuci astronauta, zajedničkim letovima i drugim oblastima odvijaće se između Kine i stranih zemalja. Kina će ojačati saradnju u međunarodnom projektu lunarne istraživačke stanice, kaže se.
