Extending the sincerest congratulations to Kim Jong Un, the general secretary said:

His election as chairman of the WPK is an epochal landmark in the development of the Party and a great encouragement to the progressive parties struggling for socialism and global independence.

At the 7th WPK Congress, he stressed the need to advance under the uplifted banner of modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

Through the Congress, the DPRK demonstrated the rock-firm will to hasten the final victory in the revolutionary cause of Juche, pioneered by Comrade Kim Il Sung and advanced by Comrade Kim Jong Il, under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un.

We extend full support and solidarity to the struggle of the WPK for implementing the important tasks set forth at the Congress.

Meanwhile, Ali Houdou, president of the Socialist Party of Benin, sent a bouquet to the DPRK embassy in Cotonou on May 9.
