Comrade Choe Son Hui, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), sent a message of condolence to Comrade Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, on December 8 as regards the demise of Comrade Aleksandr Ivanovich Matsegora, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the DPRK.

She said in the message that Comrade Matsegora was a veteran diplomat of varied accomplishments and a close friend of the DPRK people who made a distinguished contribution in the journey for further cementing the broad avenue towards the distant future of the bilateral relations of friendship and cooperation true to the noble intention of the top leaders of the DPRK and Russia, adding that his demise was a great loss to the peoples of the DPRK and Russia.

Noting that even though we lost one beloved comrade, the name of Comrade Ambassador Matsegora, who was a witness and contributor to the history of the DPRK-Russia friendly relations, will be remembered forever as a noble example of diplomats of the rising generations together with the history of friendship between the two countries, she sincerely hoped that the bereaved family who lost their close blood relatives and friends would restore inner peace as soon as possible.
