PRE-EMPTIVE strikes to nullify North Korea’s nuclear capabilities would be a “huge catastrophe”, according to a diplomat who fled the Communist regime last year.

Thae Yong-ho also said attempts to revive multilateral talks with leader Kim Jong-un would be futile, as there was no possible incentive that could deter the dictator from pursuing his missile programme.

Mr Thae was North Korea’s former deputy ambassador to the United Kingdom in London until he and his family defected to South Korea in July last year.

He told a security forum in Seoul on Thursday that recent suggestions by US congressmen to attack North Korea and force a regime change would be a big mistake, Yonhap news agency reported.

He said: ”North Korea’s leader won’t back off.

“A preemptive strike against North Korea will bring about a huge catastrophe. Before it happens, we should remove Kim Jong-un.”

Mr Thae also claimed trying to resolve tensions around the negotiating table would only buy the North Korea leader more time to grow his arsenal.

He said it was the same strategy employed by his father and predecessor Kim Jong-il in 1994, when he agreed to freeze the country’s nuclear programme in return for light water reactors and oil from the US.

In reality, the agreement allowed Kim Jong-il breathing space to steady North Korea’s floundering economy, legitimise his regime and ultimately plough on with building weapons.
