North Korea eyes "new relationship" with US

North Korean state media have raised the possibility that the isolated country could "establish a new relationship" with the United States.

It comes a day before North Korean leader Kim Jong-un meets US President Donald Trump for historic talks.

The comments mark a shift in tone from North Korea after decades of animosity towards the US.

Meanwhile Mr. Trump has said he has a "good feeling" about the much-anticipated summit.

Both leaders arrived for the talks - the first ever between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader - in Singapore on Sunday.

Mr. Trump tweeted on Monday morning that there was "excitement in the air" in the Asian country ahead of the summit.

He hopes the meeting will kick-start a process that eventually sees Mr. Kim give up nuclear weapons. 

But North Korea's perspective has always been more opaque.
