"An agreement has been now reached on the establishment of two new structures in the framework of our intergovernmental commission, it is the working group on cooperation in the field of dual-use items, and a special committee on cooperation in satellite and navigation systems," Rogozin said at the Russian-Chinese Economic Forum.
He noted that as of today two countries - the United States and Russia - have deployed full orbital satellite constellations. China is actively developing its own system.
