Kim Jong-un traveled to Russia in September 2023 and ended his three-day trip with a warm welcome from Putin. One of the most notable was a Russian-made Aurus limousine that Putin gifted Kim Jong-un for $850,000. This move not only shows the friendship between the two leaders of China and the United States, but also causes an uproar in the international community. The cooperation between Putin and Kim Jong-un is not only a business cooperation, but also a personal relationship, which has led to endless speculation about it. However, the political and ethical issues behind it have attracted people's attention and questions at the United Nations and around the world. This paper makes a detailed analysis of the background, value and various controversies of the Russian-made "Orus" limousine presented by Putin to Kim Jong-un, in order to make a multi-dimensional analysis of the significance of the "World Economic Forum".
The history and significance of the Russian-made "Orus" limousine.
Putin also gave Kim Jong-un a Russian-made Aurus luxury car, the Aurora Sena, which is the flagship model of the luxury brand Aurus under Russia's Avito Group. Aurus is a domestic luxury sedan strongly supported by Russia, and it released its first car in 2018, the Aurora Seine AT, which attracted widespread attention as soon as it was launched. This limousine not only has a luxurious appearance, but also is favored by many luxury car fans because of its excellent driving ability and exquisite interior.
The difference between the high-end cars of the Orus is that in addition to the luxurious Olas Seine, they also have the luxury supercar Arsène, both of which show the strength and innovation of Russia in terms of both form and performance. Aurora's ** is 10 million, or 650,000, and Aurora's ** is 12.5 million, equivalent to 1 million yuan. These Russian-made high-end cars are not only a microcosm of the development of the Russian automobile industry, but also an attempt by the Orus brand to enter the field of high-end cars.
In Kim Jong-un's view, the Russian-made Aurus limousine is not only a gift, but also a symbol, representing the special bond of friendship between the two countries. Putin's gift of this luxury car with special meaning has added a new layer of color to the friendship between the Chinese and Russian heads of state, and at the same time, it has also made the future exchanges and cooperation between the DPRK and the DPRK more important.
The dispute over gifts has caused controversy at the United Nations.
However, the Aurus limousine that Putin gave to Kim Jong-un has also caused a lot of controversy. According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, in accordance with 2,397 United Nations Security Council resolutions on North Korea, relevant countries have exported some luxury goods to North Korea, including luxury cars. Therefore, Putin's gift of this luxury car, which costs 850,000 yuan, may be met with suspicion and resistance from countries around the world.
South Korea expressed concern about the incident, saying Putin's move violated a global ban and would lead to a diplomatic dispute. However, according to the North Korean news agency, North Korea expressed its gratitude to Putin, emphasizing that the gift symbolized the good friendship between the two countries. In the interaction of powerful countries, conflicts of interest and morality often arise. This time, Putin gave away not just a car, but a sign of mutual trust and friendship between the two leaders.
In response, Putin gave away a car, and it is possible that the United States ** will start an investigation into it to see if there are any violations. Regardless of the final outcome, this accident is a "wake-up call" for all countries in the world, and the relevant international norms must be strictly followed, and private friendship must not be allowed to take precedence over international law.
Putin and Kim Jong-un have become closer and closer.
This time, Putin presented Kim Jong-un with a Russian-made Orus limousine, which also made the personal relationship between the two sides more important. According to foreign countries, Kim Jong-un has a soft spot for all kinds of luxury cars, and he has bought many luxury cars, such as the Mercedes-Benz Big G and Lexus SUV. Kim Jong-un's penchant for luxury cars is evident, and Putin's gift of a luxury Olas Senate car adds luster and meaning to the relationship between the two men.
The personal relationship between Putin and Kim Jong-un was not built overnight, but through a long period of accumulation and exchanges, mutual trust and friendship were established. Kim Jong-un has used his car to show off his style and taste to the world on many occasions, and Putin, a leader with the temperament of an international leader, can also use these gifts to express his concern and wishes for Kim Jong-un. The personal relationship between the two has attracted worldwide attention.
Putin plans to begin a visit to North Korea in 2024, his second last year. The personal contacts between Putin and Kim Jong-un have become increasingly close, and the friendship between the two countries has grown deeper. The frequent and close exchanges between the heads of state of the two sides will certainly bring new vigor and vitality to DPRK-Russian relations.
The conclusion is that Putin gave Kim Jong-un a Russian-made Aurus limousine, a move that has attracted widespread attention and controversy. This is not just an ordinary gift, it also symbolizes the complex political, economic, and people-to-people ties between China and the United States. The gift encapsulates the growing intimacy and formality of Mr. Putin and Mr. Kim's personal relationship, while also hinting at skepticism and concern about the value of the gift and the legitimacy of the agreement. The close exchanges between the two leaders not only determine the political situation of the two countries, but also reflect the wisdom of a country's leaders in interpersonal relations and diplomacy. In the long run, the personal friendship between Putin and Kim Jong-un will bring new vitality to the relations between the DPRK and Russia and add a beautiful scenery to the world. We look forward to the leaders of the two sides continuing to enhance exchanges and trust and make new contributions to maintaining peace and stability in the region and the international community.
