Paying Great Concern to the Development of Science and Technology of the Country

The Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung taught, in his address in the conference of senior officials of educational sector on April 9, 1980, that we were building the Grand People’s Study House, and when it was completed, he intended to have millions of science and technology books imported for it to help develop the country's science and technology to the world level.
And he continued under the impulse of passion.
Immediately after the armistice, when the country was in a difficult economic situation, he took measure to buy one million scientific and technological books from abroad and put them in the library.
Those books were old now, but they had helped our people to study a great deal at that time.
