India has demonstrated to the world that it has arrived as a great, global, spacefaring nation, ready to conquer the global space market using its powerful launch vehicles (“Space bonding hits a new high”, May 6). India’s position as a peace-loving, technologically advanced and friendly neighbour has been demonstrated in a superb way.

By fulfilling its promise made at SAARC, India has cemented its position in its “neighbourhood first” agenda, winning it immense goodwill (“Space bonding hits a new high”, May 6). Another unprecedented feature is the free-of-cost usage, which will further improve the credibility of India as a reliable regional partner. Finally, the vast applications of the satellite will prove useful in consolidating and integrating the region as a whole.
