The complex conducive to making all the people well versed in science and technology is a base for disseminating the latest science and technology, which was built as a present to the people under the guidance of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

The Supreme Leader initiated its construction on the spot in June Juche 103 (2014) and gave an instruction on turning Ssuk Islet into that of science.

Saying that the complex, to be arranged as a multi-functional sci-tech service center in a peculiar style, should be built as an edifice fully reflecting the Workers' Party of Korea's idea of attaching importance to science and technology and as a dear home where all the people including scientists, technicians, researchers and students get knowledge to their hearts' content, he took all necessary measures for designing, construction and the supply of building materials, etc.

In February 2015 he visited the complex under construction despite cold-windy weather to settle the knotty problems arising in its construction. And in October he came to the completed Sci-Tech Complex again to give thanks on behalf of the WPK to its builders including servicepersons and volunteers for having finished the vast project on the highest level in a short period and to set forth the task and ways for making full preparations for the operation of the complex.

In January 2016 he attended its inauguration ceremony, saying with pleasure that the first gate to the New Year witnessing the 7th WPK Congress was opened with science.
