Russian President Vladimir Putin has gifted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a Russian-made car, Pyongyang’s state media said on Tuesday, as the two countries bolster ties in areas from tourism to defence.
The Russian-made car was delivered to Kim for his ‘personal use’, North Korea’s state-run KCNA says.
The gift would violate successive rounds of UN sanctions on the North over Kim's nuclear and other weapons programmes -- which were passed with Russian approval -- that ban the import of any vehicles or luxury goods into the country.
Vladimir Putin gave Kim Jong-un a luxury car after Pyongyang supplied ballistic missiles and ammunition for Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin knows how to spoil an ally, sending North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un a Russian-made luxury car for his personal collection.
