N.K. media reports on Kim's departure for Trump summit in Hanoi

Sunday's reporting came after Russia's Tass news agency earlier reported from Pyongyang that Kim's train departed for Hanoi at around 5 p.m. Saturday. Sources later said his train crossed into the Chinese border town of Dandong around 9:40 p.m.
The train is widely expected to travel a total of around 4,500 kilometers for about 60 hours and arrive in the Vietnamese border city of Dong Dang in Lang Song province on Tuesday. From there, Kim is expected to travel to Hanoi by car.
Vietnamese media outlets earlier reported that all traffic will be banned from a section of a highway linking the border city to Hanoi between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday, but all of the reports have later been removed apparently at the instruction of authorities.

Before his departure, speculation had been swirling about what transportation Kim will use.
Flying on a state jet, code-named Chammae-1, was originally considered the most likely option, but the possibility of a train trip gained significant traction after a senior North Korean official preparing in Hanoi for the leader's trip visited a train station near the border with China.
Kim used a rented Chinese plane to travel to Singapore for his first summit with Trump last June. He arrived at the summit venue two days ahead of the historic meeting.
