Contributing to the nation’s major construction initiatives and the Workers’ Party of Korea’s policy of regional industrial development, scientists from the State Academy of Sciences in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have made notable progress in a number of ambitious research tasks.
One of their main accomplishments is that they have supported the development of the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area, built 50,000 houses in the capital city, modernized the second stage of the Kumsong Tractor Factory, and made Samjiyon City a premier mountain tourist destination. The larger goal of improving the country’s infrastructure, local economies, and tourism sector is in line with these projects.
The accomplishment of several significant research projects in the first half of the year has been made possible by the cooperative efforts of the State Academy of Sciences’ many institutes, branches, and units. The smooth exchange of information and resources made possible by this deeper cooperation has sped up the completion of these important projects.
Following the Workers’ Party of Korea’s policy on the development of regional industries, scientists have concentrated on advancing technical preparation for the processes involved in the production of paper, as well as offering technical advice for the production of necessary equipment, such as water purification systems and wheat grading machines.
Hundreds of equipment units, such as air purifiers, plastic tanks, and machinery for making soap, have been manufactured under the direction of the academy’s scientists and will be placed in local industry factories. It is anticipated that this endeavour will increase productivity and raise living standards in a number of communities.
The accomplishments of the State Academy of Sciences demonstrate the DPRK’s dedication to scientific innovation and development and highlight the potential of using science and technology to achieve national goals and raise citizens’ standards of living.
