We start with the latest outcome from the Trump-Kim summit this morning. The Korean Central News Agency is reporting that DPRK leader Kim Jong Un, has accepted an invitation from US President Donald Trump, to visit the United States. And earlier on Tuesday, Trump already accepted an invitation from Kim to visit Pyongyang.

Their meeting saw handshakes, smiles and laughter -- a drastic change from before which saw the two exchange harsh rhetoric. In Tuesday's historic summit, the two shook hands for 12 seconds at the Capella Hotel. Later, the duo held one-on-one talks lasting 41 minutes, and then signed a joint statement, committing to security guarantees, and pledging to work towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. But the deal is still short on the specifics. Our correspondent Sean Callebs starts our coverage with this report.

A year ago - the US threatened a pre-emptive military strike against Kim Jong Un's nation - Now -they sit side-by-side, -a burgeoning relationship.

"Would you like to say something to the press?"

In many ways, it was a chance for the DPRK leader Kim Jong Un to say something to the world.

KIM JONG UN DPRK LEADER "Today, we had a historic meeting - and decided to leave the past behind."

US President Donald Trump relished his time in the spotlight. And he's embracing the chance to move relations forward -in a positive way with the long-time US enemy. Trump and Kim, - agreeing to what they are billing as a Joint Statement.

KIM JONG UN DPRK LEADER "It was not easy to get here."

Not easy, -is an understatement. But Kim mothballed his nuclear weapons program - as well as the missile system capable of carrying warheads. At a news conference later, before a fraction of the 3000 journalists covering the summit - a beaming Trump said he got what he came for.

DONALD TRUMP US PRESIDENT "Chairman Kim and I just signed a joint statement in which he reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization -- of the Korean peninsula. We also agreed to vigorous negotiations to implement the agreement as soon as possible."

But the US press corps, often Trump's harshest critics as time and again  - DID Kim Jong Un agree"

DONALD TRUMP US PRESIDENT "Only a person that dislikes Donald Trump would say that I have agreed to make a big commitment, it takes a long time scientifically -- you have to wait certain periods of time, -and a lot of things happen. But despite that once you start the process it means it is pretty much over."

Donald Trump says the US is ending joint military operations in the region with the Republic of Korea -- now that in his words -- Kim is promising denuclearization of the DPRK. Trump countered accusations He gave up too much to Kim Jong Un. Adamant, that punishing economic sanctions will stay in place UNTIL Pyongyang is well down the road to denuclearization.

The US President says he is reaching out to leaders in the region -including South Korean President Moon Jae-in, and China's President Xi Jinping. He will also be seeking help from China and the Republic of Korea to hold Kim Jong Un accountable.

SEAN CALLEBS SINGAPORE "One other obvious question, -the best way to go forward. Trump indicated that US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo could be holding talks with the DPRK as early as next week. Sean Callebs, CGTN, in Singapore."
