President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un have become the first sitting US president and North Korean leader to meet, an unprecedented development after a year of exchanging threats.
The pair shook hands at a luxury hotel in Singapore’s Sentosa island before proceeding to talks.
At the end of the summit the leaders signed a “comprehensive” document but did not explain what they had agreed.
They had been discussing defusing tensions and nuclear disarmament. At a signing ceremony the leaders gave brief comments to the press but failed to specify what the document contained.
“I think both sides will be very impressed with the result,” Mr Trump said. The US president said more details would be provided later. A press conference is scheduled later today.
Mr Trump spoke of a “special bond” with the North Korean leader and said he was “absolutely” willing to invite him to the White House.
“We’ve decided to leave the past behind,” Mr Kim said. “The world will see major changes.”
