Inside Kim Jong-Un’s secret bulletproof train to China

These are the photos of the ‘love train’ used by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un as he travelled to Beijing to meet China’s President Xi Jinping.

The green and yellow and armoured train was previously used by his father Kim Jong-il when he undertook the same trip to visit former Chinese president Jiang Zemin in May 2000.

The huge train reportedly consisted of a staggering 90 armoured carriages, with two separate trains believe to travel ahead and behind of it for security.

Shots from inside the train show the North Korean leader relaxing on pink sofas, while the carriage’s floor is covered in wooden panels.

Despite the luxury, the weight has reportedly affected the speed of the vehicle – reaching a reported top speed of 37mph.

Russian official Konstantin Pulikovsky travelled on the train to Moscow in 2001, and recalled how it was stacked with cases of luxury wine including Bordeaux – while another claims to have dined on live lobster.

It is also believed that Kim Jong-Un uses the luxury train for domestic journeys too – in contrast to his father solely using it as a means of getting around his fear of flying.

After two days of rife speculation, China and North Korea yesterday both confirmed that Kim had traveled to Beijing to met Xi during an unofficial visit from Sunday to Wednesday.

The visit was his first known trip outside North Korea since he assumed power in 2011 and it is s believed by analysts to act as preparation for upcoming summits with South Korea and the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter he had received a message from Xi on Tuesday night that his meeting with Kim ‘went very well’.

‘Look forward to our meeting!’ Trump wrote.

He added: ‘In the meantime, and unfortunately, maximum sanctions and pressure must be maintained at all cost!’
