As they strolled to the main complex engaged in casual conversation, they came to Putin's presidential Aurus limousine parked in the driveway, and the Russian president gestured to the vehicle as Kim stood seemingly curious.
Putin invited Kim to climb into the back seat and walked around to slide in next to the North Korean leader, who sat beaming.
North Korea's KCNA news agency said on Thursday "Putin showed his private car to Kim Jong Un before having a warm talk".
