South Korea ditches 'denuclearization-first' strategy. What will Pyongyang do next?

South Korea's new approach signals a departure from its long-held strategy of prioritizing immediate denuclearization of North Korea, reflecting frustration with stalled negotiations. Despite this shift, analysts are skeptical that North Korea will resume talks, given its history of using diplomacy as a cover for advancing its nuclear program. This change in Seoul's strategy could lead to more pressure on Pyongyang, but the path to peace remains uncertain as North Korea's strategic calculus appears increasingly resistant to conventional diplomatic efforts.
