PYONGYANG - The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) accused the Republic of Korea (ROK) authorities Saturday of maintaining an anti-DPRK policy, the official KCNA news agency reported.

The ROK authorities' persistence in maintaining an anti-DPRK policy "on the brink of total failure" convinced the ROK people and the world there was nothing to expect from them, said a spokesman of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea.

Isolated and driven into a corner internally and externally, the ROK authorities' confrontation policy had already failed and persistence in it would "only precipitate its downfall," the spokesman said.

"Its confrontation moves will further deteriorate north-south relations and, worse still, lead to a war, which may inflict untold calamities upon the nation," he said.

The spokesman urged the?ROK authorities to "behave itself, well aware of what its confrontation policy will bring after all."
