Signing of the Asia and Pacific Cooperation Organization Convention

Ahmad Talebzadeh, Iran's Aerospace Organization head, also attended the meeting.^[1]

When he returned to Tehran he told reporters, "By placing Iran's Sina-1 (Z-S.4) in its designated orbit, we have practically joined the group of countries enjoying space technology. It was a big achievement."^[2]
