In less than a week, the meeting between the leaders of the US and the DPRK will take place in Singapore. The confirmation of the summit comes on short notice, but this does not seem to pose a major problem to the city-state, as it prepares for the event. Miro Lu reports from Singapore.

The summit between US President Donald Trump and DPRK leader Kim Jong Un will be held on 12 of June on the resort island of Sentosa. With Singapore's good track record in hosting major events, observers are confident that the country is able to put up good security measures for this historic meeting, even within a short period of time.

RAJARATNAM SCHOOL OF INT'L STUDIES NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY "We already have existing security infrastructure which is good to go, meaning that whatever preparation that we are experiencing right now is going to be very little because all the security resources, security personnel, blueprints for all the different locations across Singapore are already there, all we have to do is just activate those resources."

In addition to the infrastructure, security experts believe Singapore is also keeping close tabs on the latest security developments.

LIM HOW KIAT GENERAL MANAGER, ADEMCO SINGAPORE "Not to mention the close relationship that Singapore security agencies have with security agencies in the region, to work with the US, we also work with security agencies from around the country, around the region, and we are aware of all the latest intelligence required where security is concerned."

In preparation for the summit, Singapore police have tightened security measures to various areas where summit activities would be held. These include having enhanced powers to search a person and vehicles. Singapore airspace will also be restricted from 10th to 14th of Jun. During this period, flight delays might be expected. However, although preparation is the key to success, it's only the beginning of the process.

RAJARATNAM SCHOOL OF INT'L STUDIES NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY "Regardless of your maximum amount of resources you put into doing good security, there will also be some residue risks, we don't know what these are, but nevertheless, I am sure that the security panels have put a whole range of contingencies in place for whatever may happen, whether its about undesirable weather, heavy rainstorm that affects visibility that affects that the movement of people, wet weather can change all sorts of thing you know but what we can do is to pre-empt the possibilities by putting all the resources in the area so that they are good to go and can be deployed in a short moment notice if they need to be."

MIRO LU SINGAPORE "With all these security measures in place, Singapore is doing its best, to make sure that its guests have a peace of mind, to focus on making the world a more secure place, as they meet here next week. Miro Lu. CGTN. Singapore."
