China is interested in international commercial satellite launching, said an official with China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Ltd. here on Monday.

China has launched a foreign satellite this year and signed cooperative contracts on launching several foreign satellites, said Xu Dazhe, deputy general manager with the company at a press conference held here by the State Council Information Office.

The successful Shenzhou-6 mission marks the 88th launch by China's Long March series rockets and the 46th consecutive successful blast-offs.
