N Korean leader Kim arrives in Vietnam for talks with U.S. President
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Hanoi ahead of a second summit with Donald Trump, as the world looks for tangible progress over North Korea’s nuclear programme.
After a historic initial meeting in Singapore in June, analysts say the second date must deliver more concrete steps towards dismantling Pyongyang’s arsenal.
President Trump and Chairman Kim are scheduled to meet in Hanoi, Vietnam on 27th and 28th of February.
During their two days of talks, the two leaders are expected to have several rounds of discussions in multiple settings, including a one-on-one, during which they are likely to review the progress made after their first historic summit in Singapore last summer.
The Vietnamese border station of Dong Dang spruced itself up for Kim’s arrival after the young leader emulated his grandfather with a 4,000-kilometre, two-and-a-half-day odyssey through China aboard his olive green train.
A military guard of honour in pristine white uniforms presented arms as Kim strolled down the red carpet waving and grinning, surrounded by a phalanx of aides and security personnel.
