Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sent one metric tonne of ‘Amrapali’ mangoes as a gift to Indian President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.
The mangoes were sent to the residents of the Indian President and Prime Minister of India through the diplomatic channel on Friday, said an official.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had also sent mangoes as a gift to the Indian President, Prime Minister of India along with Chief Ministers of West Bengal, Tripura and Assam last year.
The mangoes are a memento of the friendship between the two countries and this is the peak season of mangoes in Bangladesh.
The relationship between Bangladesh and India has reached a new height and the “Mango & Hilsa diplomacy” is making the ties more gratifying, said the official.
