North Korean event on building “Space Power” held in Pyongyang this week: KCNA

Symposium on Space Science and Technology held annually since 2014, but was not mentioned last year amid talks with U.S.

North Korean state media reported Tuesday on a symposium being held in Pyongyang this week focused on the country’s space science development, having skipped any coverage of the otherwise annual event last year.

The return of coverage of the Symposium on Space Science and Technology and the “Space Power” slogan come as North Korea has largely refrained from active promotion of building its indigenous space program since negotiations with the U.S. began in early 2018.
