Schwarzkopf said he came to Hanoi 15 years ago for travel, but this time as a reporter to deliver news about the US – North Korea summit. Schwarzkopf and his colleagues over the last week had been finding out what Hanoians think about the city being the destination for the event. 

Today, he would station at  Melia hotel, where the North Korea leader Kim Jong Un has decided to stay during the summit. He said he was surprised that not many police personnel is patrolling on the streets unlike many other countries hosting a similar event, in spite of a few days remaining until the summit. 

This shows that Hanoi is truly a safe place, he added.
