The joint declaration issued last week by the United States, South Korea and Japan means the consolidation of the siege network against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the Korean Central News Agency said in a commentary on Tuesday.

"Judging from the background and result of the trilateral meeting, it is a product of the US anti-DPRK policy, which has a purpose of internationalizing the nuclear issue. The meeting was set to consolidate the international siege network against the DPRK through aggressive acts", the commentary said.

The commentary also refuted the "non-existent" drug-smuggling and money-counterfeiting cases of the DPRK claimed by the joint declaration.

The DPRK will use physical deterrent force to safeguard the country's sovereignty and safety, the commentary reiterated.

Rodong Sinmun, the organ of the Workers' Party of Korea, carried a signed article on the same day denouncing the Bush administration of its attempt to bring out a new war on the Korean Peninsula.

The United States, Japan and South Korea held a trilateral meeting in Hawaii last week to coordinate the policy toward the DPRK. The three countries issued at the end of the two-day talks a joint statement, pledging to work together to settle the DPRK nuclear issue and said the participation by South Korea and Japan is "indispensable" in talks to break the impasse over the nuclear issue of the DPRK.
