President Meloni’s statement on moon landing of India’s Chandrayaan-3 probe

My congratulations to Prime Minister Modi on what is a historic achievement in space exploration.
The successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 at the Moon’s south pole is the culmination of great scientific, industrial and organisational efforts, but is also the realisation of a national community’s dream and the human desire to always venture further.
I am certain that India’s efforts to advance towards new frontiers of human knowledge will foster bilateral cooperation with Italian institutions that have extraordinary scientific expertise, and I look forward to meeting with Prime Minister Modi again in a few weeks’ time when I return to New Delhi for the G20 Summit.
