Politics

Patriotism is the all-people thoughts and feelings of the DPRK people.

Now that a new era of the overall development of socialism is being ushered in, every Korean regards it as the greatest pride and honour to add lustre to their life by dint of patriotism. 

Under the circumstances, such new appellations as meritorious person of socialist patriotism, patriotic farmer and patriotic scientist have come into being.

A patriotic scientist is the one who devotes his all like a candle with the noble intention to contribute to the progress of his country by means of science, not in the hope of gaining honour or reward.

If it can be a springboard for national prosperity and the people’s well-being, irrespective of any field and of whether it is big or small, the Korean scientists merrily follow any difficult and arduous road of scientific research and unhesitatingly devote even their lives and research data associated with their lifelong efforts for the scientific research of their next generation.   

The Workers’ Party of Korea calls such scientists patriotic scientists and gives prominence to them to be well known to the whole country.
