Both agencies have agreed on preparing a project of formal cooperation, which will include a description of the bilateral cooperation and involved entities.

The leaders of POLSA and ISA met to sign a letter of intent for tightening the cooperation in space during the 61th Session of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS).
