Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong Un arrived home on Tuesday, said state media, completing his marathon journey through China after his Hanoi summit with U.S. President Donald Trump which ended without a nuclear deal.
"Kim Jong Un... arrived at home on Tuesday after successfully wrapping up his official goodwill visit to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam," said the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
"At 3 o'clock in the early morning, his train entered the railway station yard" in Pyongyang, it added.
Kim's return to Pyongyang marked the end of a marathon 4,000-kilometer (2,500-mile) journey from Vietnam, where his second summit with Trump ended abruptly with no agreement. Both sides agreed to continue "productive" discussions on denuclearization.
After his meeting with Trump, Kim paid a two-day official visit to Vietnam on March 1-2.
