He looked round the bier of Kim Ki Nam with bitter grief over the loss of a veteran revolutionary who, as a competent official in the Party’s ideological field, had remained boundlessly loyal to the cause of the WPK and devoted himself to consolidating the single-minded unity across the Party and society centred on the Party Central Committee in every way and to the Party’s ideological building and strengthening of its leadership ability till the last moment of his life.
He expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved family members and consoled them.
