Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday took North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for a drive in a luxury Russian-built Aurus limousine during a pomp-filled visit to Pyongyang after presenting one of the luxury cars to Kim as a gift.
Video released by Russian state TV showed Putin jumping behind the wheel of the black armoured limousine, with Kim getting in the passenger seat. The car is Putin’s official presidential car back in Russia.
The limousine is then shown driving on a road which weaves its way through what looks like a park before coming to a halt. A Korean man in a suit wearing white gloves is seen opening the door for Kim before rushing around to hold Putin’s door.
Putin and Kim are then shown walking side by side and chatting on a path in a wooded area with one man, presumably a bodyguard, walking behind them.
Kim is believed to be a keen automobile enthusiast and one of Putin’s aides said earlier that the Russian leader had presented Kim with a Aurus limousine as a gift. Putin gave Kim a first Aurus limousine in February this year.
