Vietnam's foreign ministry has said that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will begin a two-day official visit to Vietnam on Friday, shortly after Kim's second summit with US President Donald Trump in Hanoi ended without agreement.

Trump said on Thursday he had walked away from a nuclear deal at the summit with Kim in the Vietnamese capital because of unacceptable North Korean demands to lift punishing US-led sanctions.

Vietnam's foreign ministry did not release details of Kim's schedule in the Southeast Asian country but said the visit would last until Saturday.

Trump was due to leave Vietnam and return to the United States later on Thursday.
