Da Nang

Great and nice place… Visit Hoi An, it is nearby and worthy! Especially at sunset and after. If the meeting is at Vinpearl Luxury Resort (well out of the city) I suggest the Melia. It is at walking distance. Between the two resorts there is a small street with two hostels, where you can get…

Meeting ! Where? When? Read..

Where and When? Sec of State Pompeo, yesterday 31 January hinted “somewhere in Asia”. Not too difficult, but it meant preparations were about to be completed. After some speculations, it seems Da Nang, Vietnam #breaking A senior administration official and a second source with knowledge tell @PamelaBrownCNN the current plan is for the second summit…

Kim, Xi while in Hanoi…

Dear all, here we are at it again! Kim Jong-un is meeting Xi Jinping in Beijin today 8 January 2019. The day after his alleged birthday (https://youtu.be/SUxE7Dy82Pw).   At the same time: US delegation is in China to discuss the trade war “truce” in Hanoi, US and NK delegation are meeting for the second day…

Kim and the Pope. Really? Why I think so.

The news reported a relatively shocking news: Kim Jong-un has/will invite the Pope Francis to North Korea. Surprised? Will Bergoglio go? Things are not so simple, but I think he will, maybe marginally, in a wider frame of Asian visits, but he will. Here’s my take. Pieces of the puzzle: Bergoglio is a Gesuit. Moon…

Kim & Pompeo, love letters under the Moon… and?

So the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo ended his 4th visit to North Korea. It has been postponed, last time he was about to leave Trump called off. Too slow progress. Well, I did not see any, but he is the POTUS so he may well know more (I hope. Maybe). What has been…

Here we are again… And a thought to my admirer in Germany

Hi fellow reader, it has been a while. Not because I was sick or I am not anymore interested, I was well and on holiday. And I kept following the events. I have other matters to settle and live my life. Thus little or not time for this. Now I am back, more or less…

Tension is back… why?

Few days ago, the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had to fly to Pyongyang again. To try to get something done and introduce to the NKorean counterpart who will be handling all. Yep, yet another person. Scaling down to people with detailed knowledge is important, but logically when you start so high, it sounds terrible….

Who is going where and talking to who, actually?

Hi some time has passed since last post. Nothing to worry… simply not much to tell, not much concerning what we are concerned here. “But I heard… I read”… yep a lot of blablabla. Anything real so far? Very little… I will keep away the new rumors about what US asked NK or supposedly have…

Biiiiiig Letters!

Kim Yong-chol, one of the most ruthless North Koreans handed a big letter to Trump when he visited the White House. Then we have this one And finally, this other given to NK foreign minister Ri Yong-ho by US Ambassador to Philippines Sung Kim. I won’t stress enough to remark that Ri was surpised (left…
