Assistance of the Soviet Union to the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America in the development of the mining industry

Abstract

The main task of the modern stage of the national liberation revolution is to win economic independence. The resolution of this central national task is inconceivable without the creation of modern industry capable of ensuring the integrated development of the economy and the elimination of its lopsided monocultural character. The tasks of industrialization require the full development of the mining industry, which should provide the mineral and raw material base for the developing national industry. Therefore, the development of national mining industry is an objectively conditioned process of development of productive forces and at the same time one of the forms of the struggle for economic independence.
