Kim Jong Un in the letter expressed his heartfelt thanks to Ri Hui Ho for sending a wreath and letter of condolences with sincerity on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the demise of Kim Jong Il, chairman of the National Defence Commission (NDC).

He said he thought that it was an expression of noble obligation for Comrade Chairman of the NDC that Ri expressed condolences before the bier of Comrade Chairman of the NDC by visiting Pyongyang with her sons and daughter-in-law at the national funeral three years ago and sent a wreath and letter of condolences on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of his demise.

He said that Kim Jong Il often recalled in his lifetime Ri's total devotion of all her efforts to the nation and the reunification together with ex-president Kim Dae Jung.

He expressed his will to make positive efforts to realize the long-cherished desire for national reunification in the future, too, true to the noble will of reunification of the preceding top leaders and their lifelong cause.

He expected Ri to surely visit Pyongyang in a good season next year and have good time, having a rest.

He hoped she would take particular care of herself in cold winter weather.
