Development of Science and Technology Guarantees Self-supporting in Economy, Prosperity: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, August 13 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun in an article on Monday says that independence in politics is unthinkable apart from the development of science and technology, a material guarantee for independence in politics is a self-supporting economy and the development of the self-supporting economy depends on science and technology.

The paper goes on:

Building up the ranks of the talented scientists and technicians and putting their ability for research and development on the world level is a way for defending the dignity of the country and achieving prosperity.

The issue of persons of talent is the matter of the existence of the nation and the destiny of the state.

The reality gives a serious lesson that one cannot escape from the domination and plunder by imperialism, provide a powerful military and economic muscle and defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation if one fails to build up the ranks of persons of talent who are directly in charge of science and technology.

The development of science and technology guarantees the way for a powerful nation.

Nobody makes a present of ultramodern science and technology.

The reliance upon one's own strength and wisdom guarantees the reliable way to smash the imperialists' moves to block science and technology and achieve the independent development and prosperity of the country.

Today's reality in which the world is making a vigorous advance by a dint of modern science and technology clearly shows again that all countries can defend the sovereignty of the country and fully display the dignity of the nation when they direct primary efforts to the development of the science and technology by relying on the huge army of their own persons of talent.
