Anniversary of State Planning and Statistic Organs Observed
Pyongyang, March 5 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the Central Youth Hall Saturday to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of state planning and statistic organs.

President Kim Il Sung was very busy building new democratic Korea after its liberation but founded the first central planning and statistic organ on March 6, Juche 35 (1946) on the basis of feats and experience gained in the flames of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle.

The establishment of the central planning and statistic organ helped start a new history of planned economy, a new history of popular statistics which could put overall economic development of the country under control in a uniform way and develop it at a rapid tempo.

Under the wise leadership of the President, the socialist system of planning and statistic work was established, ranks of officials were built and the material and technical foundation was consolidated. As a result, the socialist planning and statistics have performed their mission and role as a powerful weapon for the revolution and construction.
