Seven Asian-Pacific Nations Form Space Organization: APSCO

Anyone interested in achieving Space Technology prowess should take note: Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia, Mongolia, Peru, Thailand and China have officially joined forces to create the Asian-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (Apsco.)
Pakistan, China and Thailand have pursued the creation of Apsco since 1992. China has lead the way in the formation of a manned Space program but many other nations, including Iran, Pakistan and Thailand are vigorously pursuing advanced satellite technology on their own.
It remains to be seen if Apsco will create a surge in Space Tech development for its member countries, but at the very least, it should make everyone else in the world pause a moment and take serious stock of the situation.
When the ink dries on the charter Apsco will set up shop at Beijing.
