Pyongyang, December 11 (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, paid a condolatory visit to the Russian embassy here on December 10 as regards the demise of Aleksandr Ivanovich Matsegora, Russian extraordinary ambassador to the DPRK.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un laid a bunch of flowers and observed a moment's silence in memory of Aleksandr Ivanovich Matsegora, who devoted his noble life to boosting and developing the DPRK-Russia friendship.

He met with members of the bereaved families and leading members of the embassy and expressed deep condolences to them.

He said that Matsegora was an able diplomat who made a tangible contribution to the history of the DPRK-Russia friendly relations and a close friend and true comrade deeply kept in the hearts of the DPRK people as a human being.

Saying that it is, indeed, a deep sorrow and great loss to not only the Russian government and people but also the government and people of the DPRK to lose the ambassador at a time when an important historic phase has been opened in the development of the relations between the two countries, Kim Jong Un stressed that even though he passed away, our respect and memories of him would last forever and the DPRK-Russia relations continue to develop as he hoped. -0-
