Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- A Chinese state delegation led by Wu Bangguo, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, visited the Kumsusan Memorial Palace on Oct. 30 to pay homage to President Kim Il Sung.
Present there were Wu Donghe, Chinese ambassador to the DPRK, and staff members of the embassy.
Also present there were Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly, Kwak Pom Gi, vice-premier of the DPRK Cabinet, Kim Su Hak, minister of Public Health who is chairman of the Central Committee of the DPRK-China Friendship Association, Kim Thae Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Kim Yong Il, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs, and Choe Jin Su, DPRK ambassador e. p. to China.
A floral basket in the name of Wu Bangguo was laid before the statue of Kim Il Sung.
Written on the ribbon of the floral basket were letters "President Kim Il Sung is immortal."
The participants paid tribute to the statue of the President and made bows in humble reverence to the President who lies in state.
Then they looked round with deep emotion the orders, medals and certificates of honorary titles he received at home and from different countries of the world, the Mourning Hall that reminds them of those days when the Korean people and the progressive people of the world bitterly grieved over the loss of the great father of the nation and the distinguished great man in the era of independence and a train car and a car he used during his on-the-spot guidance and foreign visits and in the last period of his life.
Wu Bangguo made the following entry in the visitor's book:
"Comrade President Kim Il Sung's revolutionary feats will remain long with the century."
