# Events and Working Meetings
August 6
  • As part of the Russian-Malaysian webinar held by the Ministry of Economic Development, radar imaging of a port was carried out in two modes. Oil spills were detected during processing. As a result, the concept of an equatorial constellation involving Malaysia, Tanzania, and several other countries has taken clearer shape
