Hanoi Summit

On 27th and 28th February 2019, US President Donald Trump and North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un met in Vietnam a second time after their initial encounter in 2018 in Singapore. The meeting was labelled “Hanoi Summit”. Preceding the meeting, North Korea withdrew stamps of their making which were considered to potentially incommode the atmosphere of the summit. Two of the stamp issues affected were the May 2017 “Anti-US Struggle ” and the August 2018 “65 years Panmunjom Truce” editions. Both stamp issues were produced in perforated (30.000/1.0000 copies) and imperforated (1.000/1.000) format.
