The 2nd North Korea-U.S. summit is just four days away.<br />Preparations and working level talks between Pyeongyang and Washington have been underway over in Hanoi.<br />We connect to Lee Ji-won who is in Hanoi to bring us the latest. <br />Ji-won, I heard working-level talks ended in less than an hour today...which is a lot earlier than that of the previous days.<br />What does this mean? And what's the mood like over there in Hanoi?<br /><br /> Hye-sung, the negotiators resumed their talks again early this morning at 9 a.m., with North Korea's Special Representative for U.S. Affairs, Kim Hyok-chol, once again visiting Stephen Biegun at Hotel du Parc Hanoi. <br /> Now, unlike the past two days, where their sitdowns lasted for hours,... this time the negotiators ended their talks after only about an hour. <br /> And as Biegun left the hotel, he gave a "thumbs up" to the reporters,... prompting speculations that the negotiatons went well. <br />Now while those talks are ongoing, it is becoming increasingly likely that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will be traveling to Vietnam by train. <br /> The train station at Dang Dong in the Vietnamese border province of Lang Son, closed its gates for "repair works."<br />We are also hearing that the roads will be partially closed from 7 p.m. on the 25th to 2 p.m. on the 26th. <br />The North's protocol chief had also stopped by the station a few days ago. <br />So, many are speculating that Kim will be taking the train to Dang Dong station and then switch to a car to get to Hanoi. <br />The local media reports that Kim Jong-un will pay an official "friendly visit" to Vietnam in the coming days at the invitation of the Vietnamese President. <br /><br /> International Media Center held its opening ceremony today. Can you tell us more about the IMC?<br /><br />Yes. I'm now standing at a courtyard in front of the International Media Center, that's been set up at the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Cultural Palace. <br /> Just an hour ago, they held the opening ceremony, and we were allowed to take a look around. <br />The press center will be home to some 26-hundred members of the international press currently registered,... and it's going to be kept open uptil March 1st. <br />The Korea Press Center will also be set up within the IMC from the 26th until March 1st.<br />That's all from me for now Hyesung. <br />
