BEIJING, January 25. /tass/. The intergovernmental agreement between Russia and China on cooperation in the creation of a lunar station is almost ready and may be signed soon. This was stated at a press conference by the Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov.

"The agreement is almost ready, it seems that it can be signed soon enough," the diplomat shared. He recalled that all States were invited to participate in the creation of the International Lunar Station.

"As far as I know, agreements on certain research topics are already being signed today. Such agreements have been signed with eleven countries and international organizations, including Russian research organizations," Denisov said. According to him, "there is already a certain legal framework in this direction."

The diplomat noted that this is a long-term cooperation program. As previously reported in the Chinese media, it is first supposed to make unpiloted flights, and only around 2035 the actual lunar station will begin to be created.

In general, Russian-Chinese cooperation in space is developing "well and fruitfully," the ambassador said. Currently, the Russian Federation and China have a space cooperation program for 2018-2022. According to Denisov, a new five-year program is being prepared to replace it.
