Day of Shining Star Marked in Benin
Pyongyang, February 19 (KCNA) -- A national seminar was held in the Cotonou Institute of Journalism of Benin on Feb. 5 to mark the birth anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il (the Day of the Shining Star).

Present there were personages of the Benin National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, the Benin Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, the Cotonou Institute of Journalism and Abomey-Calavi University in Benin and masses.

Hessou Kohovi, chairman of the Benin National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, made a report titled "Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is an integral system of idea, theory and method of Juche".

He said:

The Juche idea is an important part of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and serves as its quintessence.

The Juche idea which says that man is the master of his own destiny and is capable of carving out his own destiny clarifies man-centered philosophical principle, the socio-historical principles and the guiding principles for the revolution and construction.

Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism raised the issue of leadership method as an independent part of the revolutionary idea for the first time in history and comprehensively systemized it.

The undying feats the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un performed by formulating the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il as Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism will shine forever.

Then followed speeches.

A congratulatory message to Kim Jong Un was adopted at the seminar.
