Russian president Vladimir Putin has paid a visit to North Korea and met with the leader Kim Jong Un.
North Korea's state-run television KRT showed footage of Putin being welcomed in an opening ceremony and attending a performance, as well as several meetings on Wednesday, June 16.
The two authoritarian leaders also appeared to bond over cars and dogs during Putin’s first visit to North Korea since 2000.
In a scene straight out of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke, Putin drove Kim, who was sitting in the passenger seat, through the streets of North Korea’s capital, in a Russian-made Aurus limousine that Putin had gifted to Kim.
As they drove through a well-kept park, Kim, who is known to be enthusiastic about cars, could be seen beaming from the passenger seat.
The two leaders were then seen walking together and talking in a forested area, before Kim took charge of the wheel and drove Putin back.
North Korean state media said that the pair talked about "pent-up inmost thoughts" during their jaunt.
During their well-publicized trip, Putin gifted Kim other expensive presents, such as a tea set and an admiral's blade.
In exchange, Kim gave Putin two Pungsan hunting dogs, renowned for their prowess in chasing tigers.
During the visit, Putin and Kim signed a deal that included committing to mutual support in the event of "aggression" against the other country.
At the end of his trip, Putin was seen clasping his hands and waving goodbye to Kim from the window of his plan.
Kim was seen acknowledging the gesture from the red carpet and waving back at him with the crowd for some time until his plane fully departed.
