Kim Jong-un is copying his grandfather Kim Il-sung with his visit to Hanoi, and it's for a reason, says BBC Korean reporter Hyung Eun Kim.

One South Korean media outlet is seriously trying to break down the body language between both leaders across the two summits

The BBC's Robin Brant in Seoul tweets:

Former State Department diplomat Mintaro Oba says it could be more significant than a peace declaration.

The speed with which North Korea has been reporting this meeting to the people at home is highly unusual. Often, North Koreans are not even told the leader is out of the country until he comes home. But then perhaps these pictures of him smiling alongside the man holding the most powerful office on the planet are too good to hold back on.

The UK's ambassador to North Korea shared some images of the morning papers.

...That's according to a report by South Korean news agency Yonhap. We'll let you know when we find out what's on the menu.

This is the flag and handshake combo that's all over central Hanoi. They've heavily branded Hanoi as a peace city for this week. It's understandable. Vietnam was, after all, at war with the US in living memory, and being trusted with the huge security and administrative responsibilities of a high-profile event like this is no small deal.

An intriguing take on the denuclearisation comments here, as shared by NK News.

Last week the BBC spoke to Teodora Gyupchanova at the Database Center for North Korean Human Rights (NKDB), which works with North Korean defectors.

She told us that "just having the human rights topic on the agenda would constitute a significant step forward at this point".

It's been disappointing for defectors and those who have relatives suffering in North Korea that the rights issue has been swept aside for so long, she said.

North Korea is one of the most closed-off counties on the planet, with little access to the outside world. Four North Koreans who managed to escape explained to the BBC earlier this year what life was like back home and what they missed the most.

Reporters also asked Mr Kim if they were discussing human rights. The White House press corps said Mr Trump interjected: “We’re discussing everything.” He then said the two sides were “having very good discussions. We’ll see where it all goes. .. We’ve had very very productive discussions. The relationship is as good as it’s ever been, I think better.”

If they really did discuss human rights in their brief chat that would be an extraordinary development.

More from the White House press corps: when asked if he was ready to denuclearise, Mr Kim in Korean said: “If I was not, I wouldn’t be here." He then smiled, while Mr Trump chimed in: “That might be the best answer you’ve ever heard.”

Pool reporters were briefly allowed to enter the discussions with the two leaders, and Mr Kim was asked if he was ready for the US to have a liaison office in Pyongyang. According to the White House press corps, a North Korean aide appeared to attempt to cut off questions but Mr Trump interjected: "That’s actually an interesting question. I would like to actually hear that answer."

Mr Kim then said: "That is something that is welcomeable." Mr Trump added the idea was a "great thing".

Lots of activity now as people head towards the press conference the White House will be putting on shortly. BBC teams there will be covering the latest.

Rather charmingly, journalists are being taken across town on open top tour buses. Bit of a bonus in a busy day, though it is quite chilly outside.

"The relationship is as good as it's even been, I think better.," says US leader Donald Trump when questioned by reporters at a roundtable event.

"No matter what happens we will ultimately have a deal that's really good for chairman Kim and his country and for us. That's where it's all leading. I really believe that North Korea is going to be very successful."

A spat between a North Korean security guard and a member of the White House press pool has taken place, according to an email shared by the Washington Post's David Nakamura.

North Korea and the US have no presence in each other's countries. Any diplomacy has to be conducted by proxies.

But there has been speculation that these talks could result in a liaison office being set up so they can talk directly as and when they need.
