North Korea says Putin gifted Kim a Russian-made new car

Russian President Vladimir Putin has gifted a car to North Korea's ruler Kim Jong Un as sign of their good relationship, North Korean state media reported on Tuesday.

Moscow gifted the Russian-made vehicle for Kim's personal use on Sunday, state-controlled news agency KCNA said.

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of Kim, was presented with the car and said the gift served "as a clear demonstration of the special personal relations between the top leaders," KCNA reported. Putin’s gift could violate United Nations sanctions imposed on North Korea due to its nuclear program.
