We are less than two days from the start of the second North Korea-U.S. summit. <br />And working-level officials from the two sides are still busy fine-tuning the last details. <br />Now for more on the summit and the ongoing preparations...., we're going to connect live with our reporters Lee Ji-won and Park Hee-jun in Hanoi.<br />So let's start with Ji-won.<br />We're hearing that working-level officials have been holding talks every day since last week.<br />What's going on today in that regards?<br /><br />Ji-yoon I'm at the Hotel du Parc Hanoi, where the U.S. delegates are staying,... and where the negotiations have been going on for days. <br />But today's talks did not start yet. <br />We hear two vehicles are in front of the State Guest House, probably to bring Pyeongyang's lead negotiator Kim Hyok-chol here later. <br />As you said, with a matter of days left until the summit,... the officials are expected to start or have already started drawing up the Hanoi Joint Declaration that will be released after the summit. <br />They have been meeting everyday since last Thursday,... and the hours a day they've been meeting has been decreasing -- over 7 hours on Friday to just 2 hours thirty minutes on Sunday. <br />Also yesterday, the officials took the morning off, with Stephen Biegun, Washington's top negotiator, seen at a local church attending mass.<br />So we're guessing they are headed in the same direction,... and narrowing their differences. <br />The main points of contention are understood to include Pyeongyang's dismantlement of its nuclear facility at Yeongbyeon, a declaration to end the Korean War, and allowing inter-Korean economic exchanges.<br /><br />And there was an update on President Trump's trip to Vietnam as well...<br /><br />Jiyoon, President Trump, like we projected, is due to arrive in Hanoi by late Tuesday, local time. <br />Tweeting on Sunday, President Trump said he will be leaving "early tomorrow" for the summit, which will be Monday, U.S. time.<br />It's expected President Trump will be here through Thursday, as that's the schedule which has been penciled in for Secretary Pompeo by the U.S. State Department. <br />Back to you Ji-yoon. <br />
