US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have arrived in the Vietnamese capital city of Hanoi for the meeting on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Following their historic first summit in Singapore in last June, Trump and Kim announced an agreement stipulating that Pyongyang would make efforts to promote the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for the United States and South Korea freezing their military drills.

According to various media reports, apart from the main "denuclearization" agenda at the Hanoi summit, the US president and DPRK leader could sign a peace treaty on ending the 1950-1953 Korean war. Ahead of the second Trump-Kim meeting, the US House of Representatives introduced a resolution calling for a formal end to the Korean war.
