With a private train and stretch Mercedes limousines, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un travels to summits in style.
A train carrying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrives for an expected meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Vladivostok, Russia, Wednesday, April 24, 2019.
But for his first summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has once again opted to go by train. It didn’t provide any more details about the train, which arrived in the Pacific port city Wednesday evening. Russian officials had little to add other than that he was welcomed by a military orchestra before speeding off in his personal limousine.
But according to an account published in 2002 by Konstantin Pulikovsky, a Russian official who accompanied Kim’s late father, Kim Jong ll, on a three-week trip to Moscow in 2001, the train carried cases of Bordeaux and Beaujolais from Paris. Passengers could feast on live lobster and pork barbecue.One of the things Kim most wanted to get rid of at his summit with Trump in Hanoi was a ban on the sale of luxury goods to his country.
