North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Cuban Embassy in Pyongyang to express his condolences for the death of former leader Fidel Castro, the country's state media said Tuesday.
The rare visit by Kim came as North Korea on Monday began three days of mourning for Castro, whom the North calls a "close friend and comrade" to North Koreans. Castro died at age 90 on Friday.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that Kim expressed "deep" condolences, adding that Castro's name and feats will be "always be remembered."
The North's leader left his message in a mourners' book which says "We feel the pain of the loss of the great Comrade, the great comrade-in-arms, Kim Jong-un," according to the report.
On Monday, a delegation led by Choe Ryong-hae, a vice chairman of the ruling party's central committee, left for Havana to attend Castro's memorial services.
North Korea has ordered its people to "hoist flags at half-mast" and designated places to pay tribute to Castro. (Yonhap)
