Kim Jong Il Lauded by Benin Party Leader
Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il was a defender of justice who made immortal contributions to Korean style socialism and human independence, holding aloft the banner of socialism and independence against imperialism. Ali Houdou, president of the Socialist Party of Benin, said this in a statement on Feb. 3 on the birth anniversary of Kim Jong Il.

He honorably defended Korean style socialism, a precious legacy of President Kim Il Sung, by pursuing Songun politics and consolidated the DPRK to be a single-mindedly united political and ideological power and a socialist bulwark which no enemy dares attack despite the vicious offensive of the imperialist allied forces to stifle it and severe natural disasters, Ali Houdou noted, and continued:

Progressive humankind is looking up to socialist Korea as a beacon of hope and symbol of victory as it is fortunate to hold Kim Jong Il as an outstanding leader and wise teacher.

He will always be alive with progressive mankind including the Benin people.

Victory and glory will always be in store for the Korean people invariably advancing along the road of socialism under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea headed by the dear respected Kim Jong Un. -0-
