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.

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.

Its 112 guest rooms and villas face out onto lush vegetation and the South China sea....Guests are sometimes visited by peacocks, which have been known to stroll past at breakfast or around its terraced pools. Basic rooms start at around $680 a night, while the three-bedroom colonial manor could set you back $10,000 a night.
Great reporting!! Thanks.
That’s for the reporters who will not want for food either...a menu will offer 45 dishes across 15 cuisines to suit their varied tastes
Thanks for your posts.
Trump expected to arrive in the next 2 1/2 hours... sometime around 8:45 AM ET.
I’m sure he’s trusted.
You all remember what happened to Kim’s uncle, who was stripped of his posts and hauled before a firing squad and shot.
In NK, you don’t want to run afoul of the Dear Leader.
Singapore summit............Lee will meet the North Korean leader on Sunday
while the meeting with the US President will take place on Monday.

One of the most expensive cities in the world to live in - and one of the safest.
Crime is unheard of there and the punishment for breaking the law is harsh.
Another factoid.....Kim is known to be an aviation enthusiast unlike his his father and grandfather, who were 'aero-phobic'.
Also..Protocol dictates that President Trump and Chairman Kim Un should not enter via the same entrance for their bilateral meeting which is to avoid the perception that one arrived first and is "waiting" for the other....This is just one of the many intricacies of hosting the June 12 summit
Meeting now between NKO leader and Singaporean PM underway.

Kim Jong Un just left the hotel - probably off to meet prime minister Lee. One person was caught sneaking a photo, he’s being checked by police and North Korean officials.

Now they’re bringing in two HUGE boxes, takes 6 people to carry each of them. And two giant white suitcases.
Kim and Let just met moments ago and are talking face to face in the PM’s office.
