Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un were seen sharing a light moment as they took turns driving each other around in a Russian-built limousine during Putin's first visit to Pyongyang in 24 years. The two leaders appeared to enjoy each other's company as they rode in the Aurus luxury car, showcasing the close bond between them.
During the visit, North Korea and Russia signed a new defense pact, vowing to provide immediate military assistance in case of an attack on either country. This agreement, considered the most significant in decades, harks back to their Cold War-era mutual defense pledge from 1961.
