Ryo Hinata-Yamaguchi, a University of Tokyo academic and the author of the book, Defence Planning and Readiness of North Korea, said it would be difficult to coax Pyongyang back to talks after the collapse of previous outreach efforts. 
“It has been clear from the beginning that North Korea is not going to slow its weapons programme let alone disarm,” Hinata-Yamaguchi said. 
“The problem is that North Korea has set the dialogue and promises made with the US and South Korea in 2018 as the new baseline, meaning that anything below it is unacceptable. Thus it’s hard to find any possible avenues for sustainable dialogue, let alone North Korea’s disarmament.”
