Beijing, Mar 27 (IANS): China on Wednesday reacted to India's successful testing of an anti-satellite missile and hoped that New Delhi will earnestly maintain peace and tranquility in the outer space.
"We are aware of relevant reports and we hope that all countries will earnestly safeguard lasting peace and tranquility in the outer space," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
