Brasília - On Friday (11), the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations issued a note informing that the Brazilian government regrets North Korea's decision to suspend its participation in the six-part negotiations, following its announcement that it possesses nuclear arms and intends to continue developing them.

According to the note, "Brazil reaffirms its conviction that matters involving international peace and security should be handled through negotiations, in a constructive way, to favor solutions that strengthen the stability and trust of the community of States."

The Ministry of Foreign Relations recalls in the note that "since the beginning, Brazil supported the six-part process of negotiations and considers it a useful instrument to reach understandings that, in a balanced manner, take into account the security concerns of the Democratic Popular Republic of Korea, as well as those of the other States that are part of the process."
