The officials reviewed "a broad list of potential areas of
space cooperation," department spokesman Jeff Rathke said in a
statement.
"They agreed on developing a strategic approach that would focus
on building mutual confidence and understanding of space systems
on which both countries rely for economic, environmental,
security and social well-being," Rathke said.
Rathke said the talks focused on issues including space policy
and regulatory developments, space security, space science
cooperation, weather monitoring and the use of satellite-based
applications.
