President Lee Jae-myung has shared photos of a gift he received from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.

On the 3rd, President Lee posted photos and a video of his dog "Bobby" walking on a lawn to Instagram. The post was captioned in both Korean and Indonesian: "Bobby wearing the outfit gifted by President Prabowo," adding, "He's resting after playing excitedly in his new clothes."

President Prabowo is said to have given President Lee clothing and a leash for Bobby during his state visit to Korea last month. Tagging President Prabowo's account, President Lee added, "Indonesia's Bobby is staying healthy and doing well too, right?"

The message is seen as an attempt to further strengthen the rapport between the two leaders, as President Lee asked after President Prabowo's pet cat, which shares the same name "Bobby" as his own dog.
