Pyongyang, December 30 (KCNA) -- Anders Karlsson, chairman of the Communist Party of Sweden, together with his wife paid a condolatory visit to the DPRK embassy in Stockholm on Tuesday on the demise of leader Kim Jong Il.

They laid a bouquet before the portrait of Kim Jong Il and paid silent tribute to him.

The chairman made an entry in the mourners' book.

He said:

There will be no change in the DPRK as the revolutionary cause started by President Kim Il Sung and successfully carried forward by Kim Jong Il is deeply cherished in the minds of the members of the Workers' Party of Korea and other people.

Kim Jong Il paid heed to the voices of the people, always finding himself among them in his lifetime.

I am convinced that the dear respected Kim Jong Un who has fully personified the political mode and leadership traits of Kim Jong Il will lead the socialist cause and the cause of building a thriving nation along the road of victory, enjoying the undisputed trust of all the members of the WPK and other people.
