The mangoes were handed over to the Pakistan prime minister’s protocol at the Prime Minister’s Office on the Eid-ul-Azha day, the Bangladesh High Commission in Islamabad said in a statement on Friday.

Pakistani officials said Hasina’s gift to Imran “will remain symbolic in the relationship between the two South Asian nations”, according to the statement.
