Naha (Interfax) July 22, 2000 - Setting up of satellite communications on the basis of the Express space system joint project will be among the key issues concerning economic cooperation between Japan and Russia at a Japanese-Russian summit in Tokyo in September, Russian Telecommunications and Information Minister Leonid Reiman has said. The Russian Space Communication State Company (SCSC) signed a contract with the Sumitomo trading house and the NEC telecommunications company on July 20 in Tokyo on purchasing components in Japan for constructing a satellite in Krasnoyarsk under Japan's loan and launching the spaceship with a Russian rocket, Reiman said. It is the first time that Japanese companies participate in financing a project in addition to supplying components, Reiman said. He also pointed to the fact that the $37-million loan granted for 6.5 years is guaranteed by the SCSC rather than the state. The project is to be implemented in several years. A total of eight satellites will be constructed to "cover" the whole Russian territory and some neighboring regions. The issue so far concerns using them for Russia's needs, though "the possibility of their employment [also for Japan] was brought up" at negotiations, Reiman said.
