Kim Jong Un was seen riding in a limousine, a car gifted by Russian President Putin.

Seoul. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently traveled in a luxury car limousine gifted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Giving this information on Saturday, Kim’s sister praised the “specialties” of the car and the deepening bilateral relations between the two countries. Putin sent an expensive Aurus Senate limousine to Kim in February. He showed the car to the North Korean leader when they met for a summit in Russia in September. Observers say that sending this car violates the United Nations resolution.

The purpose of this UN resolution is to put pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program by banning the supply of luxury goods. In a statement carried by state media on Saturday, Kim’s sister and senior official Kim Yo Jong said her brother traveled in a limousine for the first time during an event. “Kim Jong Un’s use of a private car gifted by the President of the Russian Federation is a clear evidence of the North Korea-Russia friendship that is comprehensively developing to a new high level,” he said.

According to Russian state media, the Aurus is Russia’s first luxury car brand and has been used in the motorcade of top officials since Putin first used it in 2018. Kim, 40, is believed to have a collection of expensive foreign-made cars that have been smuggled into his country.
