The New York Times reported:
North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, left the country’s capital by train on Saturday, according to the Russian news agency Tass, starting a journey across China to his planned summit meeting with President Trump in Vietnam in the coming week.
An armored train carrying Mr. Kim left the station at 5 p.m. local time, Tass reported from Pyongyang, the capital, quoting an unnamed diplomatic source.
The North Korean leader will cover 2,800 miles over the next few days, passing through industrial cities in southern China and northern Vietnam before he reaches Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital, in time for his meetings with Mr. Trump on Wednesday and Thursday.
Earlier Saturday, the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry announced that Mr. Kim would make an official visit to Vietnam in the “coming days.”
