Among the gifts was a portrait of the Russian leader

Vladimir Putin presented his friend Kim Jong Un with a new luxury limousine and other fine gifts. And in return he received a pair of North Korean hunting dogs during his historic state visit to Pyongyang.

The two leaders exchanged gifts on the sidelines of their summit to deepen ties as Russia and North Korea face growing isolation on the world stage.

Kim presented the Russian president, who is a dog lover, with two poungsan quadrupeds, a white-furred hunting dog breed that is mainly bred in North Korea and is not popular outside its borders.

The two leaders were photographed looking at the dogs, who were tied to a rose-covered fence.

Putin also received various works of art depicting his likeness, including a bust and a portrait.
