Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, Vice-Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, Monday received a message of condolences from Chairman Kalevi Wahrman and General Secretary Heikki Manikko of the Finnish Communists' League on the demise of leader Kim Jong Il.

The message noted that the demise of General Secretary of the WPK Kim Jong Il is the irretrievable biggest loss to the Korean people and was sad news like a bolt from the blue to the world communists and labor movement.

It is our firm belief that though Kim Jong Il passed away, his revolutionary cause for independence and Korea's reunification will steadily advance under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, the message said.

It sincerely hoped that Kim Jong Un would take care of his health and work full of vigor.
