Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated at a regular press conference that a Pakistani astronaut will participate in the Shenzhou-24 manned mission as a payload expert. After completing a short-term flight in orbit, the astronaut will return with the Shenzhou-23 manned spacecraft.
