Beijing: President Lee Jae Myung received an electric bicycle from Chinese President Xi Jinping as a gift during his state visit to China, sources said Thursday. Following their summit talks in Beijing on Monday, Xi presented Lee with an electric bicycle, Chinese ceramics, a coffee cup set, and a painting.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the brand of the bicycle was not immediately known, as China did not disclose a detailed list of the gifts. Cheong Wa Dae also declined to reveal the full list, citing China's diplomatic protocol of not publicizing gift details. Xi also gifted apples and dried persimmons to Lee, which were widely seen as a response to Hwangnam-ppang, a popular pastry from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) host city of Gyeongju, which Lee had given Xi during his previous visit there last November.

In return, Lee presented Xi with a traditional Korean painting symbolizing peace and prosperity, as well as a traditional artwork of a golden dragon. For Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, Lee gave a traditional ornamental pendant and a beauty device, according to his office. On the occasion of Lee's visit to China, South Korea also signed an agreement to return a pair of Qing Dynasty stone lion statues that the Kansong Art and Culture Foundation has held since purchasing them in Japan in the 1930s.
