Russian President Vladimir Putin has given North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a luxury car made in Russia.
The car, a full-sized luxury sedan called Aurus, was delivered to Kim’s top aides.
This gift confirms the close relationship between the two countries, which has strengthened since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Despite international sanctions, North Korea is believed to be supplying Russia with weapons.
Putin and Kim have exchanged gifts before, including guns during a previous meeting.
While their relationship is not as publicized as Kim’s previous interactions with former US President Donald Trump, both leaders see the benefits of closer ties.
The gift has sparked controversy, with South Korea’s Foreign Ministry stating that it breaches UN sanctions against North Korea.
This information is based on a report by the BBC.
