The spokesman rejected the declaration that found fault with the DPRK, the statement said, and went on:

He said that absolutely intolerable is G8's reckless political provocation to violate the sacred sovereignty of the DPRK, adding the nuclear deterrent will be expanded and bolstered nonstop as long as the hostile policy of the U.S. to stifle the DPRK by force goes on.

The Association posted the full text of the answer on its Internet website.
