you that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has a special status in the Treaty.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, taking into consideration the Democratic People's Republic of Korea-United States of America agreed framework, dispatched to the Conference a delegation which made every effort to fulfil its responsibilities, expecting that the Conference would strengthen in good faith the non-proliferation regime and contribute to world peace and security.
However, the document drafted at the Conference meetings unreasonably represents the nuclear issue of the Korean peninsula according to outdated prejudices, ignoring the realities.
All these show that certain countries are using the Conference against my country, as they are only interested not in settling but in further complicating the nuclear issue of the Korean peninsula by disregarding and crippling the Democratic People's Republic of Korea-United States agreed framework which is aimed at fair resolution of it.
In these circumstances, I, upon authorization, inform you that the delegation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will not participate in adopting decisions or documents at the Conference.
I will be grateful if my delegation's absence from these actions could be duly recorded and this letter could be made available to all the participants of the Conference.
