TUNISIA-TUNIS-CHINA-BDS-SATELLITE NAVIGATION-FORUM

Ran Chengqi (L, front), director general of China Satellite Navigation Office, shakes hands with Mohamed Ben Amor, secretary-general of Arab Information and Communication Technologies Organization, at a statement signing ceremony during the second China-Arab States BDS Cooperation Forum in Tunis, capital of Tunisia, April 1, 2019. Chinese and Arab officials and experts on Monday envisioned building a "Space Silk Road" through closer cooperation on wider application of China's indigenously made BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) in the Middle East. The BDS, which went into trial operation in 2011 and started global service in later 2018, is a navigation satellite system independently developed by China. The China-Arab States BDS Cooperation Forum is a multilateral platform for promoting cooperation and exchanges between China and Arab states in the field of satellite navigation within the framework of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum.
