China confirms that the country is planning to sit with Russia and discuss their plan to construct a base on the moon.
According to the Chief Executive of the Russian space agency Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, Russia is planning to “hold a detailed dialogue with our Chinese colleagues on our cooperation in this direction,” before the end of May.
Reports revealed that this expansion in China and Russia’s collaborative efforts in space indicates that the two countries are strengthening their relationship as they continue to be at odds with the U.S. and its Western allies.
Following the series of sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and its Western allies to strangle its economy, Rogozin threatened to crash the International Space Station into the Earth.
Russia has also withdrawn its support from the International Space Station program as long as the Western sanctions remained in place.
Since the aftermath of the Cold War, Russia has been working with the United States side-by-side the International Space Station.
