'The agreement provides for cooperation in satellite navigation, technology, industrial manufacturing, market development, frequency and certification'.

There are probably strategic reasons for joining this network since it's an alternative to the American controlled GPS system. Here's more information about Galileo." China is also moving quickly toward getting a man in space.
