Rodong Sinmun Calls for Rapidly Developing Software Industry
Pyongyang, November 6 (KCNA) -- Competition among countries for development precisely means competition for exploring and developing new areas to take hold on the lifeline of core basic technology, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a bylined article.

Technology for worldwide dominance serves as an immense boon to economic revival, improved standard of people's living and the bolstered defense capability, the article notes, and goes on:

Software industry helps steadily create knowledge-based sources and intellectual products of tremendous value, leading the country to cultivate strength and providing a guarantee for the prosperity of posterity.

The DPRK can emerge a scientific and technological power outrivaling other countries of the world in software field in the near future.

No country in the world has such well-regulated nationwide system for training talents as the DPRK.

There are at educational and scientific institutions including Kim Il Sung University, Kim Chaek University of Technology and the State Academy of Sciences lots of talented intellectuals who were given an ample opportunity of learning without paying a single penny under the most advantageous socialist educational system.

Such talents provide a firm guarantee for prosperity.

To live in reliance upon science and technology is a way of achieving prosperity suited to the brains and physical constitution of the Koreans and Korean-style socialism.

It is the intention of the Workers' Party of Korea to make an unsparing investment in the scientific field.

The article calls for bringing up many more talents.
