Kim Jong-un arrives in Singapore for historic summit with Donald Trump
After its strange flight path from Pyongyang, North Korean leader’s Boeing 747 has been seen on the runway at Changi Airport
It is all systems go in Singapore as the country readies itself for the arrival of United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ahead of their highly anticipated summit in the Lion City on Tuesday.
Kim arrives in Lion City
The Boeing 747 believed to be carrying Kim Jong-un has landed in Singapore, sources on the ground said.
Air China flight CA61 touched down at Changi Airport shortly before 2.40pm.
Kim takes no chances on flight to Singapore
The aircraft most probably carrying Kim Jong-un to Singapore for his summit with Donald Trump took a mostly inland route while flying over China, according to a flight tracking service.
“North Korea’s utmost concern is Kim’s route, as there have always been big concerns about assassination attempts,” according to Lee Yun-keol, a former bodyguard for North Korea’s ruling family.
Data from Swedish website Flightradar24 showed Kim’s flight initially passed over four Chinese provinces – Hebei, Henan, Hubei and Hunan – and stayed well clear of coastal areas.

Good job keeping up with this.
Thanks for the coverage. I’m sure the MSM will do everything possible to bury the story...
Zoom in on the shoes. Weird.
A family tradition.
Watched the stunning footage. Listened to every word. Good lord is he ever out of his league. He is socially awkward and he is terribly insecure. This is not just jet lag. I’ve watched his demeanor closely and he hanged upon his interpreter and was shy to kind of lean back (retreative body language) when you are supposed to ignore the interpreter entirely and engage full on with whom ever you are meeting. It may be that Trump eats this spoiled kid with the back yard bottle rockets alive. We can hope for it at least. He’s just a kid for crying out loud. Way out of his element. The emperor on the world stage has no clothes. Did you sense that?
True, but in a sense, doesn’t matter. Any one of them defecting would have their whole family back in NK tortured to death publicly and fed to pigs.
Anyway, the first order of business is to turn him into an inept bumbling JV player, knocking out the aura of awe and fear ordinary N. Koreans are conditioned to view him with.
That’s why he’s planned to get out of Dodge as quickly as possible and back to the mother ship and dictatorial comfort. 2 pm local time Singapore Tuesday.
I was there in the late 80s. Stayed in a 5 Star hotel and the maid stole my Rolex (which was fake so I wasn’t too upset - I was coming there from Thailand and got several there).
They were probably briefed beforehand that it isn't real; it's just a large Potemkin Village.
If they know what's good for them, they will refuse to be impressed.
Or else.
Beautiful pics and wonderful thread! :)
The side walks are spotless. No chewing gum allowed!!
Kim looks nervous, sometimes bewildered.
But otherwise cheerful.
He might learn to like the big stage.
As awkward as he is there to me it is impressive he actually “SHOWED UP”. He’s highly paranoid anyway so this, his first trip, outside of the one to China, so far from N.Korea and into the “Unknown”, with the whole world watching. Actually puts his back to the wall that he has to carry this through.
So far no news in N.Korea I’ve seen that they even know he’s left the country.
He’s naturally paranoid anyway....and on unfamiliar ground as well. First trip outside of the North and recent sort visit to China. He might be overwelmed just being so far from the North.
I noticed he has no problem putting on his camera smile for photos.....you do get to know when it’s acting and when it’s real. He’s been acting so far.
White House US President Donald Trump will hold a one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at noon on Monday (June 11).The pair will then participate in an expanded bilaterial meeting and working lunch at the Istana.
People on the side lines were "SINGING" the Star Spangled Banner when Pres. Trump rolled in!
