Vladimir Putin’s bonhomie with Kim Jong Un took a fresh turn, with the Russian president gifting the limousine-loving North Korean leader a new automobile.

Putin gave Kim a Russian-made car for his personal use, North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency reported Tuesday. It was conveyed to a group that included Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of the leader, and there were no further details on how the car was handed over. She offered her thanks and said “the gift serves as a clear demonstration of the special personal relations between the top leaders,” KCNA said.
