Russian President Vladimir Putin presented a car to North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong Un. On Tuesday, Pyongyang’s state media reported that Putin presented Kim with a Russian-made car. In recent times, relations between the two countries have strengthened in everything from tourism to defence.

According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency, Putin gave Kim a Russian-made car for his personal use. Meanwhile, Kim’s sister Yo Jong says the gift is an indication of the special personal relationship between the top leaders of the two countries. However, nothing is known about the vehicle.

Kim Jong Un visited Russia last year to meet Putin. Relations between Moscow and Pyongyang have deepened since then. Many Russian tourists have been seen traveling to North Korea this month.

When Kim and Putin met in September last year, there was a sharp reaction between the US and its allies. At the time, South Korea and the United States accused North Korea of ​​supplying Moscow with weapons for use in the Ukraine war. Russia has been accused of taking weapons from Pyongyang in exchange for help with its satellite program.
