In this November 9, 2017, file photo, a Vietnamese security official stands guard outside the venue for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in Danang, Vietnam. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019 that he will hold a two-day summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam to continue his efforts to persuade Kim to give up his nuclear weapons. As a single-party communist state, Vietnam boasts tight political control and an efficient security apparatus, and successfully hosted the APEC meetings in 2017, and the regional edition of the high-powered World Economic Forum in 2018, both in the central coastal city of Danang.
