Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- Giancarlo Elia Valori, chairman of the Italian General Investment Group who is chairman of the Development Bank of the Mediterranean, and Carlo Baeli, president of C. I. S. Estero Group of Italy, Wednesday visited the DPRK mission in Italy again to express condolences over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il.

Looking up to the portrait of Kim Jong Il, they stayed at the mourning place for a long while and expressed condolences over his demise.

Giancarlo Elia Valori said:

I visited the mission on Monday to express condolences over the demise of H.E. Kim Jong Il but the sad feelings that I would no longer be able to meet again the leader identical to President Kim Il Sung made me cease all my work.

Watching a video showing H.E. Kim Jong Il receiving me in Pyongyang when the President demised in 1994, I recollected the loving care shown for me by him.

My boundless yearning for him made me visit here again.

He made an entry in the mourners' book.

Carlo Baeli said:

All the members of my family are overwhelmed with great sorrow from the moment we heard the news of the sudden demise of H.E. Kim Jong Il. We set a mourning period by the year-end and decided to recollect the warm loving care shown for our family by him, paying tribute to his portrait everyday.
