Kim Jong-un's two-day visit to Hanoi was about much more than his summit with the US President.

As North Korean leader Kim Jong-un continued with official engagements in Hanoi, despite the collapse of his summit with Donald Trump, Vietnam's President and Prime Minister weren't the only ones on his schedule.

Children in traditional Korean dress perform for visitors under the photos of Kim Il-song and Ho Chi Minh at a kindergarten in Hanoi.The Vietnam-Korea Friendship Kindergarten is a relic of the once-close ties between Vietnam and North Korea in the aftermath of the war with the United States. It opened in 1978 with funding from North Korean founder Kim Il-sung.

South Korea is the second-biggest foreign investor in Vietnam and overtook the US as Vietnam's second-largest trading partner in 2017. South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Friday he would discuss with the US ways to reopen tourism exchanges between the two Koreas and reopen the joint Kaesong Industrial Complex on the North Korean border.
