Kim held a meeting with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong today ahead of the planned summit.
“The entire world is focusing on the historic summit between the DPRK (North Korea) and the US, and thanks to your sincere efforts … we were able to complete the preparations for the historic summit, and I would like to thank you for that,” Kim, speaking through an interpreter, told Lee.
Trump and Kim are set to meet on Tuesday at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa for talks which could see North Korea dismantle its nuclear arsenal in return for economic help and security guarantees.
The summit will be the first meeting between Trump and Kim and mark a turnaround of relations between the two leaders after a long-running exchange of furious threats and insults.
The two leaders have had an extraordinary up-and-down relationship over the past 18 months.
Singapore will spend about 20 million dollars to host the historic summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Tuesday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong revealed today. Singapore is one of the few countries that have diplomatic relations with both the United States and North Korea.
