- Story Text: A Hanoi dance group performed an interpretative dance on Saturday (February 23) to welcome United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ahead of a summit that is set to be held in the northern Vietnamese city.
Dancers were divided in two groups, one wearing suits and the other wearing dresses, representing the two negotiating sides.
Chu Xuan Tham, a dance teacher and choreographer of the group, said it is left to spectators to decide which side represents whom, adding that the group is hoping for a positive outcome to the talks.
The group had been practicing for about two months to polish their moves, said group member Bui Phan Hong.
"I feel very proud because there are so many countries in the world but they chose Vietnam to make an agreement," she added.
The Hanoi summit on Feb. 27 and 28 follows the two leaders' historic June 2018 meeting in Singapore.
