Hanoi: US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have begun talks on the second day of their summit here to clinch a deal for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula on Thursday.
The second summit between the two leaders comes eight months after their first meeting in Singapore last year.
On Thursday, the two leaders had a dinner date in Hanoi. Both the leaders sat side by side at a round-table along with their respective aides. From the US side, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney were present.
Kim was accompanied by Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho and regime’s senior official Kim Yong Chol.
Trump said he looked forward to a “very successful” summit with Kim and that “our relationship is a very special”.
“It’s an honour to be with Chairman Kim. It’s an honour to be together in Vietnam. It’s great to be with you, we had a very successful first summit and I hope the second summit will be equal or greater than the first,” Trump said.
