MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 30th March, 2021) Ethiopia and Russia will soon sign a memorandum of understanding on space cooperation, they are currently engaged in dialogue, Ethiopian Ambassador to Russia Alemayehu Tegenu Aargau said in an interview with Sputnik.

"Soon we will sign a memorandum of understanding.

The two parties are in the process of discussion how they cooperate, so it is not yet finished," Aargau said.

The ambassador told Sputnik earlier that Ethiopia hopes to sign a bilateral agreement with the Russian State Space Corporation Roscosmos, as it seeks developing its own space program and placing more satellites in orbit.
