This document was made possible with support from Leon Levy Foundation

Van Schelle reports that pending the outcome of an investigation the Belgian government has told its Embassy in Warsaw to avoid further contacts with the North Koreans.

The Belgians have reiterated their restrictive standpoint and have no current intention to recognize North Korea
