Kim Jong Un Calls for Love of Scientists Across the Nation!

DPRK: Love of Science [and Scientists] Will Build a Powerful Socialist Country! (18.9.2025)

The Wisong Scientists Residential District, the Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp, which is nearing completion, and the apartment houses for educators of Kim Chaek University of Technology built on the bank of the picturesque Taedong River.

After a while, Kim Jong Un said it is the firm determination of our Party to build a powerful socialist country by dint of science and technology, adding that we should build a new world by dint of science under the leadership of the Party.

As those with little experience have less to share, they are not considered leaders whilst more experienced practitioners live in the vicinity.
