Kim, Trump Sign Document Following Talks in Singapore

TEHRAN (Defapress)-He vowed to start the process “very, very quickly” without specifying what exactly is going to happen.

“Today we had a historic meeting and decided to leave the past behind, and we are about to sign a historic document. The world will a see a major change,” Kim said, before thanking his US counterpart for the meeting.

After the signing ceremony, Trump stated that, from now on, the Korean peninsula “is going to be very much a different situation than it has in the past”.
The North Korean leader and the US President made history by shaking hands with each other at a top-level summit in Singapore on Tuesday morning, paving the way for reconciliation and denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Kim arrived first at the Capella Resort, on Singapore’s Sentosa Island, shortly before 9 am local time, while Trump followed a few minutes later. The historic handshake of the two leaders before a row of US and North Korean flags took place at 9:04 am.

“We will have a great relationship, I have no doubt,” Trump said in a brief photo-op.

"Past practices and prejudices were obstacles on our way forward, but we overcame all of them and are here today," Kim said.

The two met in private at first, accompanied only by their translators. After less than an hour, however, reporters were called in to take photos of an expanded format meeting. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and National Security Adviser John Bolton sat on Trump’s side of the table.

“We will solve a big problem, a big dilemma,” Trump could be heard as saying at the lunch, adding that the meeting with Kim was “very, very good”.

Trump and Kim arrived in Singapore on Sunday to hold the first ever face-to-face meeting between leaders of the two countries, which have remained enemies since the 1950-1953 Korean War.
