Pyongyang, May 19 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery in Sinmi-ri on May 18 on the occasion of the third anniversary of demise of Hyon Chol Hae who was a prominent military and political activist of our state.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un laid a flower at the grave of Hyon Chol Hae, recalling the revolutionary comrade-in-arms who devoted himself to the glorious struggle for accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche with genuine communist traits, noble human touch, ability through wide information and extensive knowledge and implacable power of execution.

Recalling Comrade Hyon Chol Hae, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Still vivid in my memory is Comrade Hyon Chol Hae, who was always with General Kim Jong Il . He was a shadow of the great General. He remains in all our memories as a model military and political official, highly principled and distinctive in political abilities and organizing skills, and as a paragon of a true person, always free and easy, unaffected, steadfast and upright. He will live forever in our minds, always reminding us of the era of Kim Jong Il and encouraging us in our sacred struggle for a great victory."

He hoped the noble spirit and distinguished exploits of Hyon Chol Hae, who remained loyal to the Party and the revolution all his life, would shine forever on the platform of the highest honor and dignity.
