Luxurious Gift from Putin to the King of Bahrain

Russian Presidential Assistant Yuri Ushakov announced that President Vladimir Putin gifted the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, who is visiting Russia, a luxurious Russian "Aurus" presidential car. Ushakov noted that the Russian president presented the long model of the "Aurus" limousine as a gift to the King of Bahrain. Earlier today, the two leaders held a meeting where they discussed ways to enhance bilateral relations, and a number of documents and agreements were signed to expand cooperation between the two countries. "Aurus" is part of the "Kortezh" project, or "motorcade," designed for the production of a family of luxury vehicles, including limousines, sedans, and minivans for high-ranking officials in Russia, primarily the president of the country, and will be marketed under the "Aurus" brand.
