Revolutionizing the Local Economy: North Korea’s 20×10 Policy Festival Promotes Autonomy in Science and Technology

The upcoming festival will be focused on promoting the achievement of the 12 major economic and social goals set by the Workers’ Party and the State. These goals are aimed at ensuring the implementation of the 20×10 policy, which is considered a gigantic revolution for what it will imply in the modernization of local industries.

The festival will bring together representatives from entities directly or indirectly related to the development of science and technology, experts, innovators, functionaries, and outstanding workers from various provincial festivals. The exhibitions and debates will take place at the state-of-the-art Palace of Science and Technology, which provides ample space for dozens of workshops on key areas such as metallurgy, chemistry, electricity, machinery, light industry, and more.

Despite being subject to strict UN sanctions due to its nuclear program, North Korea remains committed to its autonomy in science, technology, and economy in general. This autonomy is seen as an indispensable premise for sustainable development and the preservation of national sovereignty.
