Respected Comrade 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 (DPRK), paid a condolatory visit to the Russian embassy in the DPRK on December 10 as regards the demise of Comrade Aleksandr Ivanovich Matsegora, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the DPRK.

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

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

He said that Comrade Matsegora was a competent diplomat who made an outstanding contribution in the history of the DPRK-Russia friendly relations, and a close friend and true comrade cherished deep in the hearts of the DPRK people with a fellow feeling.
