Paris, 15 October 2003 ESA Press Release No. 64-2003 ESA Director General salutes China's first human space flightOur warmest congratulations to the People's Republic of China on this outstanding achievement said ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain soon after the successful Shenzou launch.China becomes the third country to send human beings into space, demonstrating the reliability of its aerospace technology. This mission could open up a new era of wider cooperation in the worlds space community, he added. ESA and China already have a long-standing record of cooperation that began in 1980 with an agreement to facilitate the exchange of scientific information. Cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Science in connection with ESAs Cluster satellites was set up in 1993, and another cooperation agreement linking ESA and China in the Double Star project was signed in 2001. Double Star - two satellites to be launched by Chinese Long March 2C rockets in December 2003 and spring 2004 - will follow in the footsteps of ESA's Cluster mission, studying the Suns effects on the Earth's environment. Ten instruments will be provided by ESA, and eight by China. In addition, following the recent agreement between the EU and China on Galileo, initial talks have taken place between ESA and the Chinese authorities to identify potential contributions that China can make to the European satellite navigation system. The way has been paved not only for reciprocal exchanges between scientists, but also for the establishment of wide-ranging cooperation between ESA and the Chinese government. This should soon materialise with the signature of a 5-year cooperation agreement - currently being finalised - on space cooperation for peaceful purposes covering the areas of space science, Earth observation, environmental monitoring, meteorology, telecommunications and satellite navigation, microgravity research (biology and medicine), and human resource development and training.

People's Daily Online, 2003/10/31 China, EU Sign Agreement on GalileoChina and the European Union (EU) on Oct.30 inked a co-operation agreement on Galileo, the Civil Global Navigation Satellite System developed by the EU.During the sixth China-EU summit on Oct. 30, Premier Wen Jiabao and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, who holds the rotating EU presidency, witnessed the ceremony for the official signing of the agreement and two other documents on bilateral co-operation in industry and tourism. Wen called the three agreements a "milestone" in the development of Sino-EU relations. Berlusconi said the documents will open up new horizons for co-operation and demonstrate EU determination to strengthen co-operation with China. The Galileo agreement provides for co-operative activities in satellite navigation covering a wide range of sectors, notably science and technology, industrial manufacturing, the service industry and market development. Galileo, scheduled to be operational by 2008, is designed to encircle the globe with 30 satellites in medium Earth orbit, with 27 operational satellites and three in reserve, plus two control centres on the ground. Both Chinese and EU leaders expressed their satisfaction over the agreement to establish a dialogue on industrial policy and also expressed their confidence in expanding Sino-EU trade and economic ties in the future. Wen and President of the European Commission Romano Prodi told reporters that they wish to realize the goal "to become each other's largest trade and investment partner." To realize the goal, Wen said China has set specific aims: for the bilateral trade volume to reach US$150 billion by 2007, and US$200 billion by 2013. Currently, China and the EU have become each other's third largest trade partners. The EU is also the fourth largest foreign direct investment source and the largest technology import source for China.
