Russian president also gave Kim at meeting the gift of a ‘glove from a space suit that has been to space’ amid warnings from US and South Korea about any weapons deal
Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un gave each other rifles as gifts when they met, the Kremlin has said, as the North Korean leader continued a tour of Russia on Friday involving a visit to a fighter jet factory.
Putin “gave [Kim] a rifle from our production of the highest quality. In return, he also received a North Korean-made rifle,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. Putin also gifted the North Korean leader a “glove from a space suit that has been to space several times”.
