Beijing: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has arrived in Beijing, where he is expected to brief Chinese President Xi Jinping on his summit last week with Donald Trump.

Unusually, Kim’s surprise visit was announced by Chinese state media within an hour of his plane touching down at Beijing airport, and as major roads saw increased security ahead of the arrival of his motorcade.
