Space plays a growing role in U.S.-China security talks - official

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Reuters) - Space is playing an increasing role in security talks between the United States and China, although no formal dialogue dedicated to space security has begun, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Thursday.

"Over the past year or so, space has been included in an increasing way and we hope to continue those discussions on space security," Frank Rose, deputy assistant secretary of state for space and defence policy, told Reuters after a speech at a space industry conference in Colorado Springs.
