The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has strategic resources with which to revitalize the national economy and raise it to the world-class level in the face of the blockade by hostile forces.
The first one is the foundations of the self-sufficient economy that have been consolidated for several decades.
This constitutes the basis for the existence of socialism in the country and motive force of its advance and development.
In retrospect, the hostile forces have made every conceivable attempt to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the fortress of independence. For over seven decades, they have imposed unprecedentedly severe political and economic blockade upon it.
However, under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung (1912-1994) and Chairman Kim Jong Il (1942-2011), the Korean people did not veer even a single step from the principle of self-reliance in the face of challenges and pressure but built an economy that stands on its own feet and develops relying on its own efforts, technology and resources.
To cope with the grim situation in which the hostile forces are intensifying their moves to isolate and crush the country, Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, pays close attention to ensuring the domestic production of raw and other materials and equipment in all sectors of the national economy.
The second one is the country’s powerful sci-tech force the state has trained with great efforts.
The country has a large contingent of competent scientists, and talented people and science and technology constitute the major motive force for the development of self-sufficient economy.
Thanks to the line of attaching importance to science and technology and the policy of making all the people well versed in science and technology steadily maintained by Chairman Kim Jong Un, the country has recently made radical development in science and technology and rapid consolidation of sci-tech forces. Many valuable successes of latest science and technology have been achieved, thus strongly promoting the economic development.
The successes of latest science and technology achieved in developing and launching artificial earth satellites and in the sector of biology and nanotechnology are attracting the attention of many world experts.
The third one is the creative strength of the people who have made self-reliance part of their mental qualities and are brimming with patriotic enthusiasm.
A miracle is not something that is created of its own accord. The source of miracle is the elated mental might of the masses of the people, and there is no limit to the might of the people who are possessed of indomitable mental might.
This was clearly proved by the course of struggle of the Korean people who created miracles and innovations decade after decade braving trials and difficulties under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il.
Under Kim Jong Un’s leadership, the Korean people, equipped themselves more firmly with the spirit of self-reliance, are creating new miracles day after day in accomplishing the cause of building a powerful socialist nation by smashing the hostile forces’ ever-intensifying moves to isolate and stifle their country.
