US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a "comprehensive" document at the end of their summit in Singapore on Tuesday as a once unthinkable meeting between foes appears to have yielded results.
The specific content of the document was not immediately clear, although both sides touted it as a significant achievement. Mr Kim, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, said: "Today we had a very historic meeting, overcoming our past history and embarking on a new beginning; the world will see a major change."
Mr Trump, in turn, said that the US relationship with North Korea will be different from the past.
"We're both going to do something, and we've developed a very special bond...we're going to take care of a very big and dangerous problem for the rest of the world.
"It worked out far better for both of us than anybody could have expected," he added.
When asked about denuclearisation, Mr Trump said "we are starting the process very quickly", but did not give any detail.
During the signing ceremony at the Capella Singapore on Sentosa island, the two leaders sat side by side at an expansive wooden table - once used by Singapore’s Chief Justices - and were flanked on either side by American and North Korean flags.
The signing came after the two leaders appeared to have developed a rapport, even going for a stroll around the grounds of the Capella Singapore hotel on Sentosa island after a working lunch.
