Training of More Persons of Talent Called for
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- The Workers' Party of Korea shaped a policy for the prosperity of the generations to come, reposing trust in the persons of talent, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a jointly signed article.

Good politics helps produce a great number of persons of talent and a country will prosper only when it has many persons of this type, the article notes, and goes on:

The persons of talent are the most important treasure of the country and the nation.

They are the biggest boon to building a great prosperous powerful nation.

Sovereignty is a basic criteria of a powerful country while the persons of talent are pillars for its independent development.

For a nation to demonstrate its dignity and build a powerful country it should have a great number of persons of talent to begin with.

The great prosperous powerful nation we are building is a self-reliant powerful country to be built by the Korean people on this land by their own ideology, strength, technology and resources.

The self-reliant powerful country precisely means a country developing thanks to the persons of talent produced by the nation.

A country is sure to win the whole world if it has the great many persons of talent but it may lose the whole world if it has few of them. This is a review of the six decade-long history of the DPRK and an immutable formula for the nation-building.

The persons of talent also constitute a core force in the IT age.

They are the mainstay for building a rich and powerful country in view of the intrinsic requirements of the great prosperous powerful country and the environment of the times.

The Workers' Party of Korea's policy of attaching importance to these persons provides a sure guarantee for building a great prosperous powerful country.

This policy is a far-sighted one as it calls for giving definite precedence to the training of persons of talent, looking far into the future of the country and the revolution.

This policy is a patriotic one as it helps rear revolutionary persons of talent loyal to the country and the people.

It is also a policy of self-reliance as it is aimed at training indigenous persons of talent by the efforts of the country.

The WPK pins great hope on the persons of talent in building a great prosperous powerful country.

The persons of talent have a historic important duty to perform in order to encourage all the servicepersons and people to make fresh creation and leaping progress as they are firmly determined to build a great prosperous powerful country. The WPK has trained persons of talent, fastening its belt to this end. They should give full play to their knowledge, skills and enthusiasm and demonstrate the might of Juche Korea to the world once again, taking the WPK's idea of attaching importance to the persons of talent as precious guidelines for building a great prosperous powerful nation.
