Trump-Kim Singapore Summit held in Singapore on June 12. But Why Singapore?
It was choosen with two things in mind: Security and Neutrality .
The government last week declared areas around three hotels involved in the summit – the Shangri-La, St Regis and Capella – “special event areas”, giving police enhanced powers to stop and search people and vehicles.
Trump will stay in the Shangri-La, Kim in the St Regis and the summit will be held at the Capella on Sentosa island. Airspace over Singapore is also restricted until Thursday.
Although Singapore has the experience of hosting high-profile events such as the annual Shangri-La Dialogue security forum, Shanmugam said Tuesday’s meeting will be on a different scale.
