      Belarus intends to follow the way of getting integrated into the global information space by developing the national satellite communication and broadcasting system. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko gave the relevant instructions as he visited the space communication center, which is being established in the Belarusian town of Stankovo, BelTA reports. “Back in the day we started out by providing satellite design services to other countries. Now we can create these satellites using manufacturing cooperation schemes. We control the satellite, get the product from it and sell it. Everything is in our hands,” said the President.
