Imran Khan’s mango diplomacy initiative seems to have no takers, as, the US,
China and several other countries, sent back consignments of mangoes dispatched
to heads of over 32 countries on Friday. 

The ‘Chaunsa’ mangoes were sent on behalf of President Arif Alvi. But the fruit
souvenirs were returned and the reason cited for the same was the coronavirus
pandemic.

Among the heads of the nations who expressed regrets to accept the seasonal
fruit include Canada, Nepal, Egypt and Sri Lanka, ANI reported. French President
Emmanuel Macron too received a consignment of mangoes, but Paris hasn’t yet
responded to Islamabad’s intent.

Pakistan has been sending mango consignments to heads of other nations since
1981. Mangoes, also known as the king of fruits in the sub-continent, have been
sent to nations like Australia and India to better relations between the
nations.



In 2015, Pakistan’s then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had sent mangoes to Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, then president Pranab Mukherjee, former prime minister
Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi. In 2010, the then
Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousaf Raza Gillani gifted a case of mangoes weighing
20 kilos to every Indian diplomat who visited Pakistan last week for the Foreign
Secretary-level talks and the third SAARC Conference of Home Ministers.

Popular mangoes included in consignments for ‘mango diplomacy’ include the Anwar
Ratol and Sindhari varieties. 

India too has practised mango diplomacy. Colonial India, in 1933, has sent
mangoes as gifts to Sweden and Holland to develop mango markets.

The USDA, which has a strict policy against accepting Indian mangoes, made an
exception when PM Jawaharlal Nehru visited President John F Kennedy in 1961.
