The Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu has shared some of the finest Bangladeshi mangoes with friends across Nepal under this year’s “Season’s Best Compliments” initiative as a diplomatic gesture of goodwill and friendship.

More than 1,750 kilograms of premium-quality Bangladeshi mangoes were presented to Nepali dignitaries, senior government officials, ambassadors and members of the diplomatic corps in Kathmandu, business leaders, civil society representatives, and close friends and well-wishers of Bangladesh and its people.

The Embassy team delivered mango packs to more than 360 esteemed recipients, including the President of Nepal, the Speaker, and members of the Council of Ministers, according to a media release issued on Friday.

The mangoes, freshly harvested from two orchards in Chapai Nawabganj, also known as the mango capital of Bangladesh, were carefully transported to Nepal via Banglabandha Port, Fulbari Land Port (Siliguri border), and Kakarbhitta Port to ensure quality and freshness upon arrival.

The consignment featured the celebrated Khirshapat variety, a GI-certified mango widely regarded as one of the most flavorful varieties in the Indian subcontinent.

The initiative reflects the enduring friendship and close people-to-people ties between Bangladesh and Nepal, said the Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu.

The gesture symbolises the warmth, goodwill, and spirit of diplomacy that continue to strengthen bilateral relations between the two friendly nations.

The Embassy of Bangladesh expressed its sincere appreciation to all those who contributed to making this unique “Mango Diplomacy” initiative in Nepal a grand success.
