SANYA (China), April 14 – Ukraine and Brazil want to implement a joint project to build a large international launch center in Alcantara by 2014, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"We are discussing a very ambitious project with Brazil on the construction of a very large space port," he told Ukrainian journalists after a meeting with the president of this country Dilma Rousseff during the Boao Forum for Asia in China on Thursday.

"We agreed to work through this project to such an extent that we could implement it in the shortest possible time – within two to two-and-a-half years," the Ukrainian premier said.
