Diplomatic sources say the leaders are likely to stay in two separate hotels and meet at a third, and Pyongyang was insistent that none of the properties could be American or European owned.
The gazetting of the resort island of Sentosa, off the Lion City’s southern tip, comes as multiple media reports said its ultra luxurious Capella Hotel was one of three locations where the two leaders are likely to meet on June 12.
Singapore had earlier declared a special event area in its diplomatic district close to the Orchard Road shopping district and where the Shangri-La Hotel is located.
The formal announcements grant police additional powers in the areas for a fixed period.
The announcements in the government gazette came as diplomatic sources told This Week In Asia on Monday that Pyongyang was insistent that historic meeting could not be held in an American or European owned venue.
