Seoul drops ‘denuclearisation-first’ stance on Pyongyang

South Korea has moved away from its previous strategy of demanding North Korea fully denuclearize before engaging in dialogue, according to Unification Minister Chung Dong-young. President Lee Jae Myung's government now prioritizes preventing the expansion of North Korea's nuclear program rather than insisting on complete disarmament first. This shift marks a departure from the more confrontational approach of the previous administration. The North Korean regime has not responded to repeated offers for talks, and the new strategy focuses on limiting further nuclear advancements while maintaining the long-term objective of denuclearization.
