Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports sent a letter to the Chinese Olympic Committee, the Beijing
Winter Olympics, the Paralympics Organizing Committee, and the General Administration of Sports of
China. The letter said that, due to the conspiracy activities of hostile forces as well as the global epidemic of
infectious diseases, North Korea could not participate in the coming Winter Olympics Games. The North
Korean Ambassador to China conveyed the letter when he met with the responsible officials of the General
Administration of Sports of China. North Korean also pointed out in the letter that the United States and its
followers are trying to hinder the smooth holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics. North Korea sent the letter
