Rodong Sinmun Calls for Building Scientific and Technological Power

Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- Scientists and technicians of the DPRK produced Korean-style CNC-based machine tools with their own technology and wisdom, demonstrating once again before the world the mettle and practical ability of the Korean people who do not know impossibility, says Rodong Sinmun Friday in a bylined article. Noting that CNC in the DPRK means CNC for independence, self-reliance and justice, the article goes on: It is the attraction and advantages of the Korean-style CNC to make it possible to produce as many things as one wants according to computer programs. Under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il the DPRK broke through the latest science and technology of CNC, thus providing the people with the inexhaustible strength to bravely foil any moves of the imperialist powers, a powerful treasured sword for winning a victory in the drive to build a thriving socialist nation. The DPRK's seizure of supremacy of CNC technology amounts to a shining victory of the independent line of the Workers' Party of Korea and its idea of attaching importance to science and technology and a striking demonstration of the inexhaustible strength of Juche Korea. The successful development of CNC in the DPRK convinces the independent forces that the latest science and technology are not a monopoly of imperialism but they can occupy the above-said eminence when they strive to attain it with a will. The high-pitched drive for developing Juche-based CNC deals a heavy blow at the hegemonic policy of the imperialists, the outdated forces of history, whereas it powerfully encourages the progressives desirous of justice to accomplish the sacred cause of independence and self-reliance.
