Steadfast is the determination of the WPK to lay the groundwork of a powerful country, pave a wide avenue for building a prosperous country on the strength of science and technology and make the people enjoy all blessings with scientific and technological successes, the editorial says, adding:

Now is the time for the scientists and technicians of socialist Korea, who have grown up under the care of the Party, to give free rein to their prominent intelligence and give full play to their high spirit of creation and patriotism.

All the scientists and technicians should fulfill the honorary mission and duty as standard-bearers and frontline soldiers in the struggle for opening up a broad avenue for the building of a powerful socialist country and hastening the final victory on the strength of science and technology.

The powerful socialist country that we are building now is a knowledge-based economic giant which will be propelled and guaranteed by world-level advanced science and technology.

The editorial appeals to all the scientists, technicians, officials and working people to achieve fresh victories on all fronts of building a powerful socialist country by making continued innovations and progress on the strength of science and technology in hearty response to the WPK's idea of prioritizing science and technology.
