China calls for closer global cooperation on satellite navigation (2)

"In such cooperation, we should follow the principle of equality and mutual benefit, as well as ensure that exchanges and cooperation are multi-directional, multi-tiered and of high quality," Liu said.

Liu said the Chinese government places high importance on the development of satellite navigation, as the country has developed a series of satellite navigation products with proprietary intellectual property rights.

China advocates international cooperation in the development of satellite navigation and stands ready to share achievements with other countries, formulate standards and promote the application of satellite navigation systems worldwide in order to provide an impetus for global economic growth, Liu said.

China became a member of the ICG in September 2007. The country's Beidou satellite navigation system is recognized as a global satellite navigation system along with the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), the EU's Galileo Positioning System and Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS).
