Rector of the Cotonou Institute of Journalism of Benin Pascal Zouncheme, chief of the Benin Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, said the human cause of independence could make a long victorious progress thanks to Kim Il Sung, who created an example in the struggle for liberation of colonial nations and gave an active help to the world oppressed people's struggle for national liberation.

Kim Il Sung will be alive along with the cause of independence which makes steady progress forward, the rector added.
