News Kim Jong Un wants to boost the economy through science, tech and state controlThe North Korean leader discussed industry development, foreign policy and military plans at an ongoing plenum meeting
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un demanded developments to scientific research, agriculture, fishing and telecommunications in a general overhaul of the country’s economic management, state media reported on Wednesday.
