Kim expressed his wish for a declaration ending the Korean War to be issued and said that in exchange for this, he will shut down the Yongbyon nuclear complex.

According to experts, a declaration on ending the war will be the first significant step towards replacing the war-ending agreement with a peace agreement.

For his part, President Trump said a press conference will be held on February 28 following their summit, a day which he said will be very busy with discussions on a number of issues.

Following their first summit in June 2018 in Singapore, the second is expected to devise specific measures towards denuclearisation, thus maintaining everlasting peace on the Korean Peninsula and the region.
