No fewer than 5,000 newsmen are
to cover the historic summit in Singapore, where U.S. President Donald
Trump and North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un meet on Tuesday.
The
U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, made this disclosure on Monday.
“At the Tuesday’s summit, there
will be some 5,000 members of the media from all over the world, who will be
covering this historic event,” Pompeo said at a news conference.
According
to him, the high level of the media attention is a proof of the summit’s
success.
Singapore will host the
Trump-Kim summit, scheduled to hold at 9 a.m. local time (01:00 GMT).
During
the event, the two leaders are expected to discuss North Korea’s
denuclearisation, the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, and
other issues.
The
summit, which was made possible after a significant thaw of tensions on the
Korean peninsula, will mark the first-ever meeting of sitting leaders of the
two countries.
Pompeo said that “the complete,
verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula is the
only outcome that the U.S. will accept” in its negotiations with North Korea.
North
Korea has previously confirmed to us its willingness to denuclearise, and we
are eager to see if those words prove sincere,” Pompeo added.
