North Korean leader Kim Jong-un invited President Donald Trump to come to Pyongyang during their historic Singapore summit and also agreed to visit the United States, state media reported Wednesday.
"Kim Jong Un invited Trump to visit Pyongyang at a convenient time and Trump invited Kim Jong Un to visit the US," the state-run KCNA news agency said.
"The two top leaders gladly accepted each other's invitation, convinced that it would serve as another important occasion for improved DPRK-US relations," the report added, using the official abbreviation for North Korea.
The historic meeting marked a "radical switchover" in the two nations' fraught relations, the North's state media said.
In its first report on the landmark summit, KCNA said dismal relations had "lingered for the longest period on the earth".
But Tuesday's summit - the first-ever meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader - would help "in making a radical switchover in the most hostile DPRK-US relations," the report said.
The North's media also said that ridding the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons is dependent on Washington and Pyongyang ceasing moves that antagonise each other.

"Kim Jong Un said in order to achieve peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and realise its denuclearisation, the two countries should commit themselves to refraining from antagonising... each other out of mutual understanding," KCNA said.
