Pyongyang, December 9 (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, sent a message of condolence to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, president of the Russian Federation, on December 8 as regards the demise of Aleksandr Ivanovich Matsegora, Russian extraordinary ambassador to the DPRK, on December 6, 2025.
In the message, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed deep condolences to the Russian president, the leadership of the Russian Federation and the bereaved family on behalf of the DPRK government and on his own behalf over the sudden demise of Aleksandr Ivanovich Matsegora, Russian ambassador to the DPRK.
Comrade Matsegora was a close friend and comrade of the DPRK people who devoted his whole life to the development of the DPRK-Russia friendly relations for over 30 years, he said, adding that the course in which the DPRK-Russia relations have developed into the present firm alliance is clearly associated with the devoted efforts of Comrade A. I. Matsegora who devoted his tireless passion true to the intention and will of the leaderships of the two countries.
The sudden demise of the ambassador at the present time when the development of relations between the DPRK and Russia have entered a crucial historic phase is indeed a heartrending event and a great loss not only to the Russian government and people but also to him and the DPRK people, he said.
Although Comrade Matsegora left us regrettably, his noble life devoted to the militant friendship of the DPRK and Russian peoples and to the accomplishment of their common cause will shine forever and will be always remembered by the peoples of the two countries, Kim Jong Un said, sincerely hoping that the bereaved family's pain over the loss will be removed, and that peace will settle in their minds as soon as possible.
He expressed deep sympathy to the Russian embassy over the demise of Matsegora. -0-
