Pyongyang, December 22 (KCNA) -- Mustafa Al Safarini, chairman of the Arab Information Center in Beijing, and his daughter Jindalrae Tuesday visited the DPRK embassy to express condolences over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il.

They laid a wreath before his portrait.

Jindalrae wrote in the condolence book that she deeply mourns the demise of the dearest father.

She wrote she visited Pyongyang, her native place, shortly ago in two decades with a dream to meet with the dearest father Kim Jong Il.

The news of his demise was like a bolt from the blue to her, she wrote, adding when she heard the news, her heart seemed to break and she did not know what to do.

The father will always be alive in my heart, she added.

Kim Jong Il named her "Jindalrae" when her mother gave birth to her at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital.
