Birthplace of Self-Reliance and Self-Development
He said: Last year our scientists and technicians made great research findings necessary for economic construction and the improvement of the people’s living standards; at the Second Plenary Meeting of the Seventh Party Central Committee I place the front of science and technology above all other fronts; the main link in the whole chain of implementing the revolutionary counterstrategy set forth by the plenary meeting is to give priority to science and technology; the main idea of the plenary meeting is to surmount the prevailing difficulties by giving precedence to science and technology.
He stressed that scientists and technicians should turn out as one in the campaign for creation and research to solve the scientific and technological problems which are of great significance in enhancing the independence and Juche character of the national economy an improving the people’s livelihood, fully aware of the mission and tasks facing them.
He then looked around the materials of successes in scientific research displayed in the science exhibition hall.
Today the science exhibition hall is called the treasure house of self-reliance and self-development and the State Academy of Sciences, the birthplace of self-reliance and self-development.
