North Korean leader Kim Jong-un rode in a luxury limousine gifted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The country`s state media cited it as "clear proof" of the development of mutual relations between the two countries. .
Last September, Kim met with Putin during his visit to Russia and pledged to increase military ties between the two countries. Putin is also using North Korean-made missiles to attack Ukraine, allegations both countries deny in the West.
Kim rode in a Russian-made Aurus limousine on Friday. This is "clear evidence of improving North Korea-Russia relations," said Kim Jo Jong, the leader`s sister.
Last Friday, Kim visited a military exercise in the royal vehicle.
The exercise, which comes just a week after joint military exercises between the US and South Korea, ordered troops to prepare "realistically" for a war.
“Only training suitable for real combat can make a real warrior,” he said.
During an earlier visit to Moscow last September, Kim was impressed and praised when Putin seated Kim next to him in the luxury limousine he used, the Kremlin said.
