We are now just three days away from the 2nd North Korea-U.S. summit to be held in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.<br />The North Korean leader is already on his way down there, and as many expected, he's taking the train.<br />Our Lee Ji-won is in Hanoi and we go to her now for the latest.<br />Ji-won what do you have for us?<br /><br />Devin, like you said North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been confirmed to be taking a train to to Vietnam. <br />He reportedly passed through the Chinese city of Dandong, on the border with North Korea, last night at around 9-thirty, local time.<br />His departure was reported by Russia's TASS news agency, and it was confirmed this morning by North Korea's state-run news agency that Kim had indeed left Saturday afternoon.<br />The report listed the delegates accompanying Kim, which included Kim Yong-chol, who has negotiated with Secretary Pompeo, Ri Su-yong, vice chairman of the central committee of the Worker's Party of Korea, Ri Yong Ho, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kim Yo-jong, the North Korean leader's younger sister and Choe Son-hui, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.<br />Now, we're not sure if Kim is going to take the route his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, took to get to Vietnam -- the late Kim took a train to China and then flew to Vietnam from there. <br />But there have been preparations made at a train station on Vietnam's border with China, so we are expecting Kim to use train to come almost all the way here... which will be 4-thousand kilometers in distance, and take about 60 hours.<br />The expectation is that he'll arrive at the border station at Dong Dang early Tuesday and take a car to Hanoi. <br /><br />There have been talks between the North Korean and American sides in Hanoi since last week, but we understand there weren't any this morning.<br /><br />Yes Devin. The working-level officials have been holding negotiations everyday since Thursday. <br />But today, we heard that the U.S. delegates left their Hotel du Parc Hanoi early this morning.<br />We're not yet sure where they are headed to.<br />We also don't know where or what the North Korean delegates are doing right now. <br />But it's our guess that the two sides are reporting to their respective superiors about the negotiations.<br />Yesterday, their morning session finished in less than an hour,... but they resumed their talks in the afternoon, which lasted for 3 hours. <br />The main points of contention are understood to include Pyeongyang's dismantlement of its nuclear facility at Yeongbyeon, Washington's declaration of an end to the Korean War, and allowing inter-Korean economic exchanges. <br />
