Addis Ababa, June 11, 2018 (FBC) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump have touched down in Singapore, setting the stage for a landmark summit aimed at averting a nuclear crisis.

Their highly anticipated meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, will mark the first time a North Korean leader has met a sitting US president.
Trump arrived at Singapore's Paya Lebar Airbase at 12:30 GMT on Sunday, a few hours after Kim touched down at Changi Airport in an Air China 747 - almost 48 hours before the summit at the city-state's Capella Hotel.
Trump met Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday, the eve of the historic summit.
They did not give any comment to waiting journalists, but as the two leaders took their seats Trump could be heard saying to Lee, "We've got a very interesting meeting in particular tomorrow, and I just think it's going to work out very nicely."
Since taking power in 2011, Kim had met no other foreign leader prior this year. After arriving in Singapore on Sunday, he held talks with Prime Minister Lee and thanked him for hosting the summit, according to Singapore's foreign ministry.
