Talents, science and technology are the most essential factors of deciding on the national power of relevant countries and nations and their rise and fall in the age of knowledge-based economy, the editorial notes, and goes on:

Gone are the days when capital or natural resources played a decisive role in the state development.

At a time when confrontation in science and technology and scramble for winning over talents are becoming fierce to lead the age of knowledge-based economy in the world arena, the U.S. and other enemies are considering science and technology as main targets of their harsh hostile moves against the DPRK, aimed to obliterate it politically, isolate it economically and stifle it by force of arms.

The front of science and technology is the forefront for defending socialism whereas the educational field can be called a logistic base to steadily train talents needed for keeping a sustained initiative in the competition in national power, science and technology.

Science, technology and education at present are the two big pillars for achieving the prosperity of the country and nation and carving out their future and one organism inseparable from each other.

All scientists, technicians and educators should creditably discharge their roles as Chollima riders with their noble spirit and ample knowledge and thus make the world look up to the great Party and President Kim Il Sung's and leader Kim Jong Il's Korea.
