Here are some of the funniest moments you might have missed from the 2023 meeting between Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin

The latest meeting between two of the world's most

powerful dictators had its fair share of funny moments.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rolled slowly into Eastern Russia on his famous bulletproof train - so heavy it has a top speed of 37 miles per hour.

Some might have noticed Kim's translator looking a little sheepish as he emerged onto the platform - and who can blame him? The last time Kim arrived in Russia, a different translator almost missed his que, sprinting to catch up before his boss realised.

This time around, the aide was on his toes. Rushing around the great leader's car to make sure he was ready for the first exchange with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

As it happened, the dictators let their bodies do the talking, holding onto a handshake for about 40 seconds. That's a new record - in 2019 they lasted around 33 seconds.
