MOSCOW, February 20. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has presented an executive automobile made in Russia under the high-end domestic Aurus make as a gift to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

The KCNA news agency reported about the gift earlier, saying that it was "a Russian-made car" but without clarifying the exact make and model of the car.

"Yes. It was an Aurus," Peskov said.

Putin showed a model of the high-end Aurus make to the North Korean leader last September during Kim’s visit to the Vostochny Cosmodrome space launch site in the Amur Region in Russia’s Far East.
