China plans to form a BeiDou network consisting of 35 satellites for global navigation services by 2020, said a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Tuesday.
The country plans to start providing basic services to countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-century Maritime Silk Road in 2018, said the document titled "China's Space Activities in 2016."
China is to continuously enhance the service capacities of the BeiDou-2 in the next five years, according to the white paper.
It aims to provide all clients with more accurate and more reliable services through advancing the ground-based and satellite-based augmentation systems, it said. (Xinhua)
