Developing Countries Called upon to Promote Scientific and Technical Development
Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- Science and technology provide developing countries with a sure guarantee for putting spurs to the independent development and national prosperity in the new century. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article.

Noting that developing countries are required to reach a high level of scientific and technological development as early as possible, the article stresses one of the ways to do so is to develop science and technology by their own strength and efforts.

They have potentials, possibilities and conditions to develop science and technology, the article says, and continues:

It is the only way of developing science and technology to work hard to do so from the Juche-oriented stand.

What is important in this respect is to prevent the brain drain.

It is necessary to pay special attention to the work to help the scientists and technicians deeply cherish the spirit of national independence and patriotism.

Developing countries are sure to achieve signal successes if they attach importance to the role played by the scientists and technicians in achieving the independent development and national prosperity of the country and direct big efforts to training excellent scientists and technicians.

They can train many able scientists and technicians by rounding off their educational systems and raising the quality of education.

It is one of the urgent tasks facing developing countries at present to give full play to the spirit of collective self-reliance in the field of science and technology and boost South-South cooperation.

They can achieve rapid progress in science and technology without spending a lot of money if they boost the cooperation and exchange in such a way that encourages every country to transfer its advanced science and technology to other country and each country to apply new science and technology on the principle of mutual accommodation.

It is an important way of developing science and technology for developing countries to steadily develop cooperation and exchange among the scientists and technicians and help one another in training them.
