According to the Korean Central News Agency, a Russian-made Aurus limousine presented by Russia's ** Putin has been delivered to North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un, causing concern from the outside world. The move was seen as another escalation of friendly relations between the two countries.
The car is one of the Aurus Senat Limousine luxury bulletproof sedans that Putin showed to Kim Jong-un last September. Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed the news and said that Putin gave the car to Kim Jong-un as a gift. However, Peskov did not confirm whether the car was a special bulletproof model.
This is not the first time Putin has given gifts to Kim Jong-un. Back during Kim Jong-un's visit to Russia last year, Putin showed him the Aurus Senat Limousine limousine he was riding in, and Kim Jong-un spoke highly of it.
For this move, North Korean officials expressed their gratitude, and Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong and Secretary of the Labor Committee, Park Jong-cheon, received the gift on behalf of North Korea.
Historically, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin presented Kim Il-sung of the DPRK with a Giss limousine, demonstrating the deep friendship between the two countries. Putin's gift of an AURUS luxury car to Kim Jong-un this time once again reflects the historical origin of friendship between the two countries.
This move also reflects the complexity of the current trilateral relationship between North Korea, Russia and South Korea. By deepening cooperation with Russia, North Korea has achieved Kim Jong-un's goal of "strong country diplomacy" and economic development. Russia, on the other hand, has gained a greater say in the affairs of the peninsula by strengthening its ties with North Korea, thus finding a breakthrough in diplomatic disputes with the United States and its allies. At the same time, South Korea is also seeking to improve relations with Russia in response to the current tense international situation.
The car giveaway once again highlighted the complex and delicate diplomatic relations between North Korea, Russia and South Korea, and also sparked a lot of speculation about future developments.
