Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, exchanged gifts. During his visit to Pyongyang, the Russian leader presented the politician with a second Aurus car, apparently in a restyled version, a naval dirk, and a tea set.
We have already exchanged gifts. We presented a car called "Aurus". Yes, the second one, not the third, but definitely the second.
Ushakov did not specify what gifts the Russian leader received in return from Kim, adding only that they were related to the image of the Russian president.
But it is worth noting that despite the presence of at least two Aurus cars in North Korea, politicians for the welcoming ceremony of the North Korean people preferred Kim Jong-un's Mercedes Maybach s600 guard with a sunroof. Putin and Kim both fit in the sunroof.
This is probably due to the fact that the Aurus car does not have a sunroof. Next time, the Russian leader may want to give Comrade Kim an Aurus Senat convertible. After all, communication with the people should be comfortable. The convertible was first used during the Victory Parade on May 9 in Moscow.
As a reminder, the updated Aurus Senat was presented before Vladimir Putin's inauguration. The car's front end has changed: the restyled car has a different radiator grille and new adaptive headlights. In addition, a lighter hood has been installed on the restyled Aurus. The design of the rear of the car has also changed.
Inside, the steering wheel has changed, the gearbox has a new selector, and the ergonomics of the driver and rear passenger seats have improved. In addition, the premium car received updated multimedia and acoustic systems.
