PYONGYANG - The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Monday in a statement that it would "never deal with" South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and his government, accusing South Korea of piling up false accusations against the DPRK and undermining its national reconciliation and unity.

According the statement issued by the country's National Defence Commission on Monday, another two steps would be adopted to harden its stance.

"The DPRK will launch a nationwide offensive to put an end to the moves of the Lee group to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK," the statement said.

The Korean People's Army would "cut off the north-south military communication in the area along the east coast" and "close the communication liaison office in Mt. Kumgang area," the statement announced.

"As already warned by the DPRK, it will take a physical action without any notice any time against any target to cope with the anti-DPRK psychological warfare," it added.

The statement said Lee's government is piling up false accusations against the DPRK's "revolution" and "socialist system," "undermining its national reconciliation and unity" and "laying a hurdle in the way of peace and prosperity."

It said South Korea is trying to stop the DPRK's legitimate measures for self-defense and driving the inter-Korean relations to "uncontrollable catastrophe."

Lee Myung-bak's government has been smearing DPRK's efforts for cooperation, peace and reunification through dialogues as "delaying tactics," said the statement.

The ties of the two Koreas went deeper into estrangement last March following the sinking of the South Korean corvette Cheonan. South Korea insisted the warship was sank by DPRK's torpedo. The DPRK denied the accusation.
