This reality would have been unthinkable without the wise guidance of the Workers' Party of Korea that has consistently attached importance to science and technology.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un set forth the development of overall science and technology of the country as the most important policy of the state.

At important meetings and conferences discussing the policy issues of the state, he stressed that all the works should be done by giving priority to science and technology and relying on them.

He has treasured scientists and technicians contributing to the development of the self-supporting national economy and to the strengthening of socialist might with ardent patriotism, painstaking pursuit and efforts.

Saying that persons who did admirable things should be seated in a golden cushion, he saw to it that the Wisong Scientists Residential District, Unha Scientists Street, Mirae Scientists Street and Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp were built for scientists.

Thanks to his faith and will to open up an era prospering with science by making a new leap forward in the development of the country's science and technology, valuable scientific successes conducive to the economic development and the improvement of people's standard of living have been made in the DPRK in recent years.
