US President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, will hold the much-anticipated second summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb 27-28 on bilateral relations and issues related to peace and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

According to the White House, Kim and Trump plan to have a brief “one-on-one" meeting followed by a "social dinner" on Wednesday. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney will dine with them. Two aides to Kim are Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo-jong and Vice-Chairman of the Workers' Party Kim Yong-chol.

No schedule for the second day has been released yet, but experts believed that Kim and Trump will have follow-up talks in a bid to realize the details of their June 12 declaration in Singapore, in which they agreed to work together for "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula, a transformation of DPRK-US ties, and peace on the peninsula.

Whether the two will hold a joint news conference after the talks－which experts believe will occur if the two leaders reach a satisfactory deal－is a possibility being keenly monitored by international media outlets.

Trump arrived late Tuesday in Hanoi, and will meet on Wednesday with Vietnam's president and prime minister respectively ahead of seeing Kim. Kim arrived by train on Tuesday morning.

The Korean Central News Agency says Kim will follow his summit with Trump with an "official goodwill" visit to Vietnam that will continue through Saturday.

The first Trump-Kim summit in Singapore in June led to a joint declaration from the leaders to "work toward" complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Trump pledged to provide security guarantees to the DPRK while Kim reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to a complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
