Expressing full support for the appeal on celebrating with splendor the 70th anniversaries of Korea's liberation and founding of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) as grand international political festivals, the statement said:

President Kim Il Sung achieved national liberation through a long bloody anti-Japanese war and realized the cause of the party founding. These marked historical events which brought about a fundamental turn in hewing out the destiny of the Korean people.

The history of the WPK and the DPRK is one of proud victory and brilliant succession as they witnessed epoch-making miracles and changes under the guidance of the President and HE Kim Jong Il.

The ever-victorious history and traditions of the WPK are being creditably carried forward by HE Kim Jong Un, another peerlessly great man.

The Socialist Party of Benin will highly praise the immortal exploits performed by Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un by significantly organizing colorful political and cultural events on the said occasions.
