economy

Various sectors and units of the national economy actively share and exchange valuable scientific research findings conducive to promoting the development of science and technology and the economy and the improvement of the people’s living standards as part of the efforts to carry out the tasks set forth at the ninth and tenth plenary meetings of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

In the first half of the year alone, national scientific and technological presentations and seminars were held in different sectors and they continue to take place on several occasions in the second half of the year.

A national sci-tech presentation in the field of rare-earth application technology took place in March as the first sci-tech presentation this year.

At the presentation aimed at making a positive contribution to the development of an advanced rare-earth industry, research results achieved in prospecting, mining, chemical separation and treatment and domestic production of materials for alloy production processes were presented.

It was followed by the national sci-tech presentation in the field of construction. At the event, more than 310 study papers were presented, which were completed by scientists and technicians in the construction sector by upholding the Party’s policy on the providing people with a happy life and bringing about a new radical change in the appearance of the Juche-oriented architecture by fully applying its idea on architecture based on the people-first principle. There were also an extensive discussion and in-depth question-and-answer session on the problems arising in the fields of architecture, construction engineering, construction economy, building materials, land and environment protection and urban management and new ideas and experiences.

The sci-tech presentation in the electric power industry sector took place at the Sci-Tech Complex, with the sharing and exchange of good achievements and experience gaining impetus through sci-tech presentations. It was a significant occasion in ensuring stable power generation by managing the generating equipment and power transmission and distribution system regularly and conducting their technical upgrading effectively.

Sci-tech presentations have gathered momentum in the second half of this year. They are aimed at solving urgent problems arising in economic construction and the improvement of the people’s living standards and providing a clear practical guarantee for implementing the five-year plan for national economic development.

At the national sci-tech presentation in the field of hydro-meteorology and oceanology, successes and experience gained in ensuring promptness, correctness and scientific accuracy in weather forecast, minimizing damage from extreme weather conditions including typhoon, flash flood, drought, heat wave and others and putting maritime work such as the tidal wave warning system on a scientific footing were widely disseminated. The fibre and paper industry sector held a national sci-tech presentation and workshop to share sci-tech hits made in the normalization of production and readjustment and reinforcement at factories and enterprises in the sector.  And the national science and technology presentation in the field of chemical materials diffused the scientific research findings and experience gained in developing and introducing chemical materials badly needed for making the existing chemical factories fully exhibit their production capacity and completing the readjustment and reinforcement projects.

The active scientific and technological exchanges are directed to giving precedence to enlisting and improving the scientific and technical force and solving the actual problems arising in the economic work, urgent problems in the current production and practical problems directly linked to the stabilization of the people’s living and improvement its standards, thereby giving impetus to the struggle of the working people to produce significant changes in 2024.
