Developing information technology (IT) should be the most important task for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the official Rodong Sinmun daily quoted the country's top leader as saying Wednesday.
During his recent inspection tour of an electronics institute, a library and a pharmaceutical factory in Kanggye city of Jagang province, Kim Jong Il said it was necessary to work out a plan for developing IT to realize informatization of all national economic sectors.
It is important to give priority to scientific research, especially the IT field, said Kim, adding that the DPRK should encourage the training of more IT talents.
Kim also called for expanding computer networks to remote areas in order to "enable a lot of people to read anything in any place."
