Kim is set to leave Hanoi on Saturday via train through China. Kim arrived in Hanoi on Tuesday after a 66-hour train journey from Pyongyang.
According to South Korean news reports, there is speculation that Kim may meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on his way back to Pyongyang.
Kim’s official visit to Vietnam follows his two-day summit with US President Donald Trump. The much-anticipated summit was cut short unexpectedly, with the two leaders canceling a working lunch, and a joint agreement-signing ceremony.
According to Trump, the changes came about due to North Korea’s demands that all sanctions be lifted in return for limited denuclearization measures.
