The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who has carried on with the idea of giving priority to science and talents that the great leaders pursued, is giving energetic leadership to it so that it could discharge its mission and duty as a center for sci-tech education and scientific research in our country.

Such great love and trust of the peerlessly great men made it possible for KUT to make a fresh leap forward and innovation in the campaign to train a great number of sci-tech talents who will shoulder the future of Juche Korea and to occupy the fortress of cutting-edge science.

He added, upholding the great leaders’ lifetime instructions and the vital tasks delivered by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un on his historic field guidance, all scientists, researchers and teachers at university should dynamically accelerate the grand advance of self-reliance for the construction of a socialist powerful nation with science and technology.
