Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: According to Russian media reports, including Kremlin special correspondent Alexander Yunashev, after the leaders left, North Korean staff carefully cleaned the cup used by Kim, the chair covers and all surfaces he had touched. Yunashev added that after the meeting ended, Putin and Kim left the room with complete satisfaction and went to a quieter environment to drink tea.

 

While the reason for this action has not been officially announced, some genetic experts have pointed to the possibility of DNA collection. They say genetic information can be used to analyze the health of world leaders, which may explain North Korea's extreme sensitivity to its leader's physical appearance.

 

Kim Jong-un has previously been reported to take his own toilet with him on foreign trips to avoid leaving any trace of his body. This behavior is seen as part of North Korea's strict security and protection measures to protect the leader's personal information.
