Letter from the Prime Minister of Belgium

7 November 2012

Dear Mr Jiang,
Dear Ms Ueki,
Dear Ms Yata,

First of all, I would like to address my sincere apologies for this late reply which was mainly due to the exceptional workload. Your letter concerning nuclear weapons and their impact received my full attention. Your city witnessed the horror of these weapons, and is certainly entitled to lead the fight against them. My government and I fully share your demand for a world free from nuclear weapons.

Yours sincerely,

Elio Di Rupo

Prime Minister of Belgium
