What will Kim Jong-un bring when he comes to Vietnam?

There are only about 2 weeks left until the second US-North Korea Summit in Hanoi. As usual, North Korea will send a transport plane carrying cars and other items to serve Mr. Kim Jong-un during his stay in Hanoi.

Bulletproof Mercedes-Maybach S600

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was seen using a new generation Mercedes limousine to move around Pyongyang, in a report broadcast on North Korean state television channel KCTV on February 1.

Therefore, it is very likely that during his visit to Vietnam at the end of February, leader Kim Jong-un will use this car, similar to the time he visited Singapore to meet US President Donald Trump last June.

Kim Jong-un is a big fan of the luxury Mercedes brand. He also used a Mercedes S600 Pullman Guard when he met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in April 2018.

In addition, Mr. Kim could also bring and use a Rolls Royce Phantom, but this possibility is not high.

The Air Koryo Il-76 transport plane that took off on June 10, 2018 from Pyongyang to Singapore carried cars and other items to serve Mr. Kim Jong-un during his stay in Singapore.

Mobile cleaning equipment

During his visit to Singapore last year, Kim Jong-un used a special personal hygiene device, transported from North Korea, despite staying at a 5-star hotel.

According to Chosun Ilbo (South Korea), Mr. Kim refused to use any toilets in Singapore, because of concerns that foreign security agents would seek to analyze his biological data.

The North Korean leader's personal equipment was flown to Singapore by IL-76 transport aircraft, along with a bulletproof limousine, food and other necessities for Mr. Kim.

At the summit in late April 2018 with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Mr. Kim was also said to have brought his own sanitary equipment.

A strong bodyguard team

In June 2018, the world media paid special attention to the image of North Korean bodyguards jogging behind leader Kim Jong-un's black S600 without license plates.

This is a similar image to what happened when Mr. Kim Jong-un sat in a Mercedes S600 across the inter-Korean border at the meeting with the South Korean President in April 2018.

Mr. Kim got into the S600 car to return to North Korea after meeting with the South Korean President in April 2018.

North Korea's trusted advisory delegation

The diplomatic delegation attending the second US-North Korea Summit in Hanoi is expected to include Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong.

In addition, North Korea's special representative for US affairs Kim Hyok Chol is also expected to be in Hanoi during the second US-North Korea Summit.

Mr. Kim Hyok Chol is the main person responsible from the North Korean side in negotiations with the US delegation on the content of the agenda agreement and logistics of the second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
