Kim’s visit to Beijing, while expected, is one way for China to highlight its crucial role in U.S. efforts to get North Korea to abandon its nuclear program.

"Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!" Trump tweeted.

Kim and Trump held the first ever bilateral summit between the leaders of their respective nations on June 12.

"India welcomes the United States-DPRK Summit held in Singapore. This is a positive development. India has always supported all efforts to bring about peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula through dialogue and diplomacy," the MEA said in a statement.
After the meeting with Kim Jong Un, US President Donald Trump said that one-on-one meeting was 'very, very good'. North Korean leader says 'We overcame all kinds of skepticism and speculations about this summit.'
