The state-run KCNA news agency reported on Tuesday that the Association plans to continue to build satellites on its eighth anniversary to use the information they gather for science and technology, agricultural production, forest protection and maritime research, among other purposes.

With a view to continuing to achieve these goals, the KAA is committed to building an aerospace industry capable of carrying out advanced and valuable space development projects based on the State’s policy and strategic interests, it said.

KCNA recalled Association’s willingness to share scientific and technical information and experience with its counterparts in other nations under the principle of mutual complementarity and the common goal of contributing to the progress of humankind.

A few days ago, the DPRK condemned the US attempts to militarize the cosmos and turn it into a battlefield while denying other states the right to exploit it peacefully or for defensive purposes.
