In a bid to enter space, the government plans to launch a satellite into the space for development of the countrys telecommunications services.
Post and Telecommunications Minister Razi Uddin Ahmed Raju made the announcement at a press conference at the Press Information Department (PID) auditorium on Thursday.
He said the satellite to be installed in the space would be used only for business purpose.
The Post and Telecommunications Ministry has already negotiated with some counties like
Germany, Russia and China for the launch of the maiden satellite of the country, he told journalists.
Referring to the satellite of India, the minister said China had given technical support to India in launching nine out of its 13 satellites.
If we get technical supports from those countries, we will be able to launch satellite into space soon, he added.
