After the collapse of the socialist countries of Eastern Europe at the end of the last century, after the sanctions and severe blockade of institutions coerced by the imperialist forces and after successive natural disasters, it was believed that the economy of the DPRK could no longer be recovered. But it overcame the difficulties in a short time and developed and the rapid development of the DPRK will soon turn the DPRK into an economic power.
One of the keys to the success of this country's economy is the perfect embodiment of the demands of the Juche idea in building the economy.
This idea, developed by President
It demands the development of the national economy on the basis of the strength of its people.
The DPRK is cementing its economic base in line with the demands of the 21st century, relying on its own strengths and technologies.
Let us remember that the collapse of the socialist market, the economic sanctions imposed by the imperialists and the harsh natural disasters have severely hindered the economic development of the DPRK.
Firmly determined to shape their destiny through their own efforts, the DPRK people have overcome all sorts of trials and difficulties. Even in the times of great economic and food hardship, they proved fierce and persevering, accomplishing numerous construction projects in ten years, thus preparing the ground for the building of economic power. Land reclamation and gravity-fed irrigation works have been carried out on a national scale, thus increasing agricultural production. As part of national campaigns, small, medium and large capacity hydropower plants have been built; modern factories have also been built all over the country.
The DPRK scientists and technicians made strenuos efforts to develop and introduce the CNC technology in the economy as a whole. Thanks to their efforts, a new CNC design was perfected and new CNC facilities were manufactured. Many mechanical plants in the country have been renovated with CNC machines of national production.
And this is not just happening in the mechanical engineering sector.
CNC technology was fully introduced at the February 8 Vinalon Complex, a major chemical base in the country. Technicians at the Namhung Youth Chemical Complex have developed a DCS (Distributed Control System) system that provides high-level automatic control in the chemical industry. The CNC technology has also been introduced in the textile, food and consumer goods industries.
In order to strengthen the foundations of the economy, the DPRK produces high-level machinery and equipment through its own techniques. These include the UHP electric arc furnace, the core of the modern steel industry, the high-capacity oxygen generator, the Juche iron furnace and the continuous casting plant.
The DPRK is building its economy according to its realities and using the country's resources strictly.
The DPRK people are perseveringly striving to lay a solid foundation for an independent national economy, believing that the key principle is to build an economy that, according to the Juche idea, can stand on its own two feet, without relying on anyone else but the people, and that develops through the resources of the country and through the strength of its people.
Building a modern economy, in line with the requirements of the 21st century, is aimed at cementing the foundations of the independent national economy to an even greater extent. The metallurgical industry has developed a new Juche iron production system that does not use coke, which is lacking in this country.
The February 8 Vinalon Complex produces vinalon, without resorting to imported oil but using anthracite and limestone which are abundant in the country. In addition to vinalon, this complex produces hundreds of chemicals, such as carbonate, caustic soda, vinyl chloride, and alcohol. The Namhung Youth Chemical Complex, located in the western part of the country, produces chemical fertilizers by gasifying anthracite, and the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex accelerates the fertilizer production by lignite gasification. On the other hand, the power industry builds small, medium and large hydropower plants, which allow them to efficiently exploit the abundant hydraulic resources in the country.
In recent years, several power plants have been built in succession, such as the Kumyagang, Orangchon power plants in the DPRK, showing their imposing size.
Over the past 10 years, under the leadership of Comrade
Numerous food factories, which use Korean specialties as raw material, have sprung up all over the country; numerous processing factories are also being built, which produce Korean-specific food.
It is a vivid reality that the economy of the Republic, guided by the Juche idea, is developing remarkably.
