North Korea’s nuclear plans ‘will end in regime collapse’

North Korea faces collapse if it does not abandon its nuclear bomb programme, South Korea has warned.

President Park Geun-hye was making a nationally televised parliamentary address defending her decision to shut down a jointly run factory park in North Korea.

She said South Korea will take unspecified “stronger, more effective” measures to make North Korea realise its nuclear ambitions will result only in speeding up its “regime collapse”.
