The US State Department found fault with North Korea in the "2018 Country Reports on Terrorism" released on November 1, said a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

The US has persistently tried to brand the North Korea as a "state sponsor of terrorism" at a sensitive time when the Pyongyang-Washington dialogue is at a stalemate and this is an insult to and perfidy against the country, Xinhua news agency quoted the spokesperson as saying in the statement.

"The channel of the dialogue between North Korea and the US is more and more narrowing due to such attitude and stand of the US," it said.

The statement also said the Foreign Ministry condemns and fully rejects the reports as a grave politically-motivated provocation against North Korea as they are full of all sorts of falsity and fabrication.

It is the consistent stand of Pyongyang to oppose all forms of terrorism and any support for it, it added.

The working-level negotiations between North Korea and the US in Stockholm ended in a stalemate in early October.

There was no sign of resumption of a new round of talks about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
