expands scientific capabl I ltles In the young states beyond the existing boundaries •. Such Joint on-the-spot research Is being done In India. (MHO-generators, turbines. high-voltage transmission lines), and Iran (transformers) (36}. A striking case In point Is the Soviet Union's co-operation with 'India In space exploration. As a result, Soviet rockets were used to launch Indian satellites Into near-earth orbit and a Soviet­ Indian crew has orbited the earth In a spaceship. This arrange­ ment has helped India a great deal to push ahead for •Terra• research programme providing for the study of the HIRdustan peninsula from outer space (37). This policy of the Soviet Union was reafflrmea once again at the Economic Summit of the CMEA member-countries In Moscow In June 1984. And this r•malns and wll I continue to be our concrete contribution to carrying out the Vienna Programme of Action. 265 List of Sources t.
