The green and yellow train carrying Kim Jong Un earlier crossed the Vietnam-China border. The train has about 20 carriages with the entire doors and windows are covered so no passengers can be seen from outside.
A security team of North Korea arrived in Hanoi a few days earlier on an Air Koryo’s flight. These people were also present at Dong Dang train station this morning.
