U.S. President Donald Trump left Hanoi almost immediately after the summit schedule was cut short,.. wasting little time to hustle back to Washington. <br />But North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is still in town for his official Vietnam visit. <br />We have our Kan Hyeong-woo standing by in front of the hotel where Kim has been staying since Tuesday. <br />Hyeong-woo, what are you hearing?<br /><br />Well Mark, as you mentioned,... the second North Korea-U.S. summit ended abruptly after the two sides failed to reach a deal. <br />President Trump left Hanoi on Thursday afternoon, local time, on Air Force One. <br />But Chairman Kim will begin his official friendship visit to Vietnam today as planned. <br /><br />According to the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,... Kim is expected to meet his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Phu Trong, the General Secretary of Vietnam's Ruling Communist Party on Friday. <br />There will be bilateral talks between the two leaders and a welcoming ceremony followed by a state banquet later in the day. <br /><br />On Saturday,... Kim will pay a visit to the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum,.. where the founding president of Vietnam is buried. <br /><br />Once his schedule is complete,... it's reported Kim will take his armored train from the same Dong Dang railway station where he arrived on Tuesday after a roughly 60-hour-long train ride across China. <br /><br />But the released schedule leaves some spare time for Kim to make a surprise visit to other places. <br />For instance,... he could make a quick stop at the Vietnam-North Korea Friendship Kindergarten in Hanoi. <br />Or he could visit a business sector in the Southeast Asian country. ( ) <br /><br />We are going to have to see what he chooses to do so I will keep you updated throughout the day. Back to you, Mark. <br />
