Meetings, seminars, lectures and film shows were held in Italy, Benin, Nigeria and Bangladesh from Dec. 12 to 19 last year.

Participants of film shows watched Korean film "Fireworks for a Thriving Nation".

The national coordinator of the Italian Communist Youth Front said that Kim Jong Il was the great leader who dedicated his all to the happiness of the Korean people and the prosperity of the country, and an outstanding revolutionary who made distinguished contributions to the cause of global independence.

He said that Kim Jong Il developed KPA into an army strong enough to foil any aggression by the imperialist allied forces and placed the position of the DPRK on the status of a nuclear weapons state and a satellite manufacturer and launcher.

Pascal Zouncheme, chief of the Benin Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and rector of the Cotonou Institute of Journalism of Benin, referred to the fact that Kim Jong Un instilled stronger conviction of sure victory into the service personnel and people of the country while making a journey for Songun revolutionary leadership in the entire period of last year and thus made enemies tremble with fear.

Igwanagu Nicholas, chairman of the Nigerian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, said that the DPRK will keep to the road of independence, Songun and socialism under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un and Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism will shed its eternal rays as a banner of victory.
