The meeting in Russia's Far Eastern city of Vladivostok came with Kim looking for support in his nuclear stand-off with Washington and Putin keen to put Moscow forward as a player in another global flashpoint.

However, no details have been received over the type of weapon tested, but this happens to be the first test carried out after Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un held a summit in Vietnam a couple of months back.

It is not hidden to anyone that the rising conflict between India and Pakistan is creating tension among neighbouring countries as well. The Pulwama terror attack and Balakot bomb blast seems like creating war-war situation for both the countries. But then, US President Donald Trump, today, said he was hopeful that the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan will end soon. He was speaking at a news conference in Hanoi, Vietnam after a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump arrived in Hanoi on Tuesday. This will be the second time the two super leaders will be meeting.

With Vietnam being finalised as the venue for the US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, there comes a strong possibility of moving beyond conflict and division toward a thriving partnership, the US State Department said on Thursday.

US President Donald Trump has said the date and location of his second meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have been decided, and will be announced next week. "We'll be announcing the location and... the exact date it will be... it'll be end of February," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday, Xinhua news agency reported. Trump added that his administration will announce the venue and date "next week". The meeting between Trump and Kim, if held as scheduled, will be the two leaders' second face-to-face encounter following their meeting in Singapore in June last year.

US President Donald Trump is to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for a second summit by the end of February, the White House has said.

US President Donald Trump said he has received a "great" letter from the top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong-un and expected their second meeting to take place in the "not-too-distant future."

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will hold their three-day third summit from September 18 in Pyongyang, Seoul said on Thursday, after their envoy met the North Korean leader.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Tuesday made yet another surprise visit to Beijing, just a week after his historic meet with US President Donald Trump on the Korean nuclear crisis in Singapore.
