Pyongyang said on Friday that the latest US annual report on human rights and democracy in countriesis slanderous as far as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is concerned.

In an interview with the Korean Central News Agency, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said that where the DPRK is concerned, the 2002-2003 report released by the US State Department on Tuesday are groundless slanders.

The spokesman said the United States said in the report that itis deeply concerned about the DPRK's human rights record while pledging tougher measures to change the situation.

The United States has recently been trying to tarnish the imageof the political system in the DPRK, with an aim of increasing international pressure upon it and eventually isolating and stifling it, he said.

"It is an open secret that the United States is escalating the psychological warfare and blockade operation against the DPRK on various, groundless charges in a premeditated way."

The US hostility toward the DPRK will only heighten the vigilance of the DPRK people and entail serious consequences, the spokesman warned.
