North Korea-United States summit

The North Korea-United States summit of 2018 is set to take place on 12 June in Singapore's Capella Hotel on Sentosa. Because of the symbolic meeting of US President Donald Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, this event is also known as the Trump-Kim Summit.

Arrival of Leaders
US President Donald Trump landed at Paya Lebar Airbase at 8.21pm local time. Local media reports mention that Trump is likely to stay at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un landed at Singapore Changi Airport on Sunday at about 14:35 local time and was welcomed by Singapore's Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan and Minister for Education Ong Ye Kung. Contrary to initial media reports that he would be taking his private plane to Singapore, he instead took a Boeing 747 plane flown by Air China. According to media reports, a cargo plane, an Air Koryo Ilyushin Il-62, containing food items and other perishables landed in Singapore from North Korea before Kim's plane landed. Chiller trucks ferried them to the St Regis Hotel Singapore where Kim is staying. A third plane from North Korea, another Air Koryo Ilyushin Il-62, landed shortly after in Singapore and Kim's sister Kim Yo-jong is believed to be on board.

Both Trump and Kim will meet separately with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Kim meet Lee on Sunday afternoon at the Istana, and Trump is scheduled to meet Lee on Monday.
