DPRK Policy on Defense Industry
An important aspect of the DPRK’s policy on defence industry is to build the national defence industry by relying on its internal resources on the principle of self-reliance.

When building munitions factories following their country’s liberation from the Japanese military occupation (1905-1945), the Korean people suffered an acute shortage of technological data, equipment, materials, funds, technicians and skilled workers. However, they overcame all manner of difficulties and trials and implemented to the letter the Juche-oriented policy on defence industry on the principle of self-reliance, thereby producing military hardware needed for army building without depending on other countries.

Another aspect of the DPRK’s policy on defence industry is to develop the defence industry in a modern fashion.

Great efforts have been directed to modernizing the defence industry, as well as to making it fend for itself to meet the domestic demands for military hardware independently. As a result, the country is now capable of manufacturing even nuclear weapons, strategic rockets and other state-of-the-art hardware whenever they are needed. This provides a sure material and technological guarantee for strengthening the country’s defence capability.
