North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is scheduled to stay in Vietnam through Saturday [March 2] as he will pay a two-day “good will” visit to Vietnam starting Friday, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The state news agency of North Korea gave no further information of the upcoming official visit, but described in detail Kim’s arrival to Dong Dang Station at the Vietnam-China border on Tuesday morning.
The KCNA reported that Kim Jong Un was greeted by DPRK Ambassador to Hanoi Kim Myong Gil as well as other top Vietnamese officials led by Politburo member and head of the Party’s Commission for Propaganda.
The agency quoted that Kim “expressed his gratitude for the cordial hospitality and honorable treatment shown by the Vietnamese party, government and people.”
