Hanoi summit: all eyes on Kim-Trump schedule

  • 5 years ago
It goes without saying that ever since Kim and Trump touched down in Hanoi,... they have been at the center of attention.
Our Kan Hyeong-woo takes us to the Vietnamese capital where everyone is following every step by the two leaders.
The host city, Hanoi, has been buzzing all week with the two of the world's most famous people in town. Since both Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump arrived in the city, the two leaders' every stop has been a media event.

When the two leaders met for their brief one-on-one conversation followed by a 'social dinner' on Wednesday evening at the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hotel,... the roads were filled with reporters and their cameras trying to get a glimpse of them.

"The first meeting between Chairman Kim and President Trump since the Singapore summit last June has brought out not only the media but also tons of locals onto the streets of Hanoi."

Hundreds of people flooded the sidewalks behind the barricades and waited for hours before they arrived at the venue.

"I've been here for three hours with my daughter. I feel that the summit is important for both Koreas and for Vietnam. I hope it ends well, and that it can bring peace on the Korean Peninsula."

The crowd continued to stay out on the streets,... hoping to spot Kim and Trump either through the camera lens or with their own eyes.
