The Government of Pakistan has approved the Space Policy which will improve the services.
Minister of State for Information Technology Shizah Fatima sttaed in her speech at the event that she congratulated the SUPARCO team for launching MM1 by working day and night. We have created Pakistan's first National Space Policy, which is not easy. The most important thing about space policy is that we can get many benefits from it. No sector can thrive without connectivity and its only source is the internet.
