DPRK's Positive Contribution to International Efforts Reiterated

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 14 (KCNA) -- An information society, an intellectual society for all can be built only when all the people can fully benefit from the information and communication technology and take an active, independent and creative part in all the fabrics of social life with high intellectual faculties, said Kim Yong Dae, vice-president of the Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly who is heading a DPRK delegation, in a speech made at the World Summit on the Information Society on Dec. 11. What is most important for building such information society is to shape and implement its strategy for the development of information industry in such a way as to enable the government of each country to exert primary efforts for the development of the information and communication technology and let all the people benefit from it, he said, and continued:
    It is necessary to expand and develop international cooperation and solidarity among countries, respect the sovereignty of each country in cyber lever, protect and encourage the diversity of languages and culture, put an end to any attempt to stoke misanthropy, violence and war hysteria and impose a unilateral view on value on others. Only then, is it possible to build the information society desired by all of us.
    The DPRK government is concentrating state investment and efforts on this field in order to step up the building of a great prosperous powerful nation on the basis of information and communications technology and provide the people with a more civilized and abundant life.
    It will continue to dynamically push ahead with the development of its information industry as required by the IT era and thus positively contribute to the international efforts to build an information society.
