      Pakistan uses mangoes as diplomatic gifts to other countries for several reasons, often referred to as “mango diplomacy”:
      * Strengthening Diplomatic Relationships: Gifting mangoes is a gesture of goodwill and friendship, aimed at fostering stronger diplomatic ties with friendly nations. It’s a way to express warmth and hospitality.
      * Promoting Trade and Exports: A key objective is to introduce Pakistani mangoes to new international markets and boost the country’s horticulture exports. By showcasing the high quality and unique varieties of Pakistani mangoes, they hope to increase demand and open up new avenues for trade.
      * Cultural Significance: Mangoes, often called the “King of Fruits” in Pakistan, hold deep cultural significance. They are a symbol of joy, abundance, and heritage. Sharing mangoes is a traditional way to express generosity and strengthen social bonds within Pakistan, and this cultural practice extends to international relations.
      * Showcasing Agricultural Excellence: Pakistan is a major producer of mangoes, known for its diverse and delicious varieties like Sindhri and Chaunsa. Gifting them allows Pakistan to highlight its agricultural prowess and the unique taste and aroma of its prized fruit.
      * Low Cost and Desirability: Mangoes are a relatively low-cost item, which makes them a practical and appealing diplomatic gift, avoiding concerns about bribery or extravagant presents. Their desirability also ensures they are well-received.
      * Seasonality: The annual mango harvest promotes regular, annual gifting, which helps maintain consistent diplomatic engagement.
      This “mango diplomacy” has a long history, with instances such as Pakistan gifting mangoes to Chairman Mao Zedong in China during the Cultural Revolution. It’s a sweet and effective way for Pakistan to engage with the world.
