The message said that the Nepal Communist Party (Marxist) expressed deep condolences over the sudden demise of Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people. His demise is a great loss to the world communist movement, it noted.

Kim Jong Il was standing in the van of the struggle against imperialism and had always wisely led the WPK and the Korean people, it added.

The Nepal Communist Party (Marxist) heartily hopes that the WPK and the Korean people will dynamically advance without slightest hesitation and vacillation along the road indicated by Kim Jong Il.
