North Korean State News: Jimmy Carter Expressed Condolences On The Death Of Kim Jong Il
The Korean Central News Agency, an official arm of the North Korean government, said in a statement today that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter sent a message of condolences on the death of the country’s dictator Kim Jong Il.
We’ve reached out to a Carter spokesperson for confirmation.
Take this with a grain of salt, given the former “axis of evil” nation’s penchant for inventing news.
Here is the statement from state news agency:
Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) — Kim Jong Un, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party of Korea, received a message of condolences from Jimmy Carter, ex-president of the U.S. on Dec. 19.
In the message Jimmy Carter extended condolences to Kim Jong Un and the Korean people over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il.
He wished Kim Jong Un every success as he assumes his new responsibility of leadership, looking forward to another visit to the DPRK in the future. -0-
