Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, received a message of sympathy from Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation, over the recent serious damage caused by flood and heavy rainfall in some parts of the DPRK.

The message of sympathy from Moscow was conveyed to the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK through the Russian embassy in Pyongyang on the evening of August 3 and immediately reported to the supreme leadership of the state.

President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin extended deep sympathy and support to Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, and all the Korean people as regards the flood damage in the northwestern part of the DPRK, expressing his willingness to provide immediate humanitarian aid for the recovery from the flood damage.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed sincere thanks to President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and the Russian government on behalf of the DPRK government, the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people and on his own behalf.

Saying that he could deeply feel the special emotion towards a genuine friend in the most difficult period, he expressed thanks for it, adding that he receives the heartfelt sympathy from the closest friends. He said that the rehabilitation work would be pushed forward according to the already-established plan as state measures were taken at the present stage to immediately repair the flood damage and that if aid is necessary in the course, he would ask for it to the truest friends in Moscow.

Kim Jong Un said that the Korean people must have been greatly moved and encouraged by the message of deep sympathy from President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, feeling that they have the closest friend beside them, and expressed once again sincere thanks in the name of the DPRK government and its people.
