Sweet diplomacy to heal ties: Yunus government sends mangoes to Modi
Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus has sent a consignment of mangoes to Indian PM Narendra Modi as a goodwill gesture between the nations.
According to reports, the consignment is scheduled to reach India on Monday.
The consignment containing 1,000 kilogrammes of renowned mango variety 'Haribhanga' will reach New Delhi on Monday, UNB reports quoting an official at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi as saying.
The mangoes will also be shared with dignitaries from the Indian Prime Minister's Office, diplomats and other officials within the next couple of days as part of a friendly exchange between the two neighbouring countries, the news agency reported.
The government is reportedly sending mangoes to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The move is assumed to be significant since the bilateral tension between India and Bangladesh brewed after the fall of the pro-Delhi Sheikh Hasina government in August last year, followed by attacks on Hindus in the South Asian Muslim-majority country.
After Hasina fled to India, facing violent protests that started with anti-quota agitation, Yunus was appointed as the advisor to the interim government in Bangladesh.
Modi and Yunus met for the first time in April on the sidelines of BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok.
