💨 Abstract

China's space station, Tiangong, will soon host its first foreign astronaut, a Pakistani, following a cooperation agreement between the two nations for astronaut selection and training. The move showcases China's growing space diplomacy, bolstered by its space program advancements. Pakistan, with close ties to China, aims to improve its space capabilities through Chinese initiatives, having already participated in the Chang'e-6 lunar probe last year.
