The statement said:

All members of the Socialist Party of Benin received Comrade Kim Jong Un's New Year Address with great excitement.

Marshal Kim Jong Un called for making a fresh advance in the national reunification movement this year true to the behests of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

His New Year Address is an immortal great programme clearly indicating the way of achieving Korea's reunification as it calls for rejecting foreign forces, holding fast to the standpoint of By Our Nation Itself, positively struggling for defending the security of the nation and peace and establishing a favorable climate for improved relations between the north and the south.

The Socialist Party of Benin unequivocally supports the proposal for national reunification set forth by Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address.

We extend invariable solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle for achieving the reunification of the country under the outstanding leadership of Kim Jong Un, lodestar of reunification and tender-hearted father of the nation.
