SOUTH Korean President Park Geun-Hye threatened yesterday that North Korea faces collapse if it does not abandon its nuclear bomb programme.
She defended her decision to close a jointly run factory park in Kaesong, North Korea, warning of “stronger and more effective” measures to make Pyongyang realise that its nuclear ambitions would result only in accelerating “regime collapse.”
Ms Park shut the factory park in response to the North’s recent long-range rocket test, which Seoul saw as a test of banned ballistic missile technology.
The launch and its fourth nuclear test last month moved North Korea further along in its quest for a nuclear-armed missile that could reach the US mainland.
But Ms Park claimed that Pyongyang had diverted much of the factory workers’ earnings to the government, which directs its nuclear and missile development. She also said that the South had sent more than $3 billion in government and civilian aid to the North since the mid-1990s.
