520 _aTwo decades of negotiating by the United States and South Korea still failed in an attempt to achieve North Korean denuclearisation. Analysts have assessed that it is unlikely that North Korea will ever abandon its nuclear weapons arsenal. North Korea's new leader Kim Jong-un has also not shown any signs that he is any more likely to give up Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal than his predecessors. This article looks at the issues raised and concludes by suggesting that the United States and South Korea should remain open to discussions with North Korea even if that means not being able to achieve North Korean denuclearisation. Therefore, Seoul and Washington must ensure as that sufficient military resources must be maintained to defend against any North Korean threats.
