This act, known as 'Fruit Diplomacy,' has become an annual tradition between the neighboring countries, and its significance was witnessed on Thursday when the shipment of delectable mangoes arrived in Agartala through the Agartala-Akhaura Integrated Check Post.

Overseeing the proceedings at the Akhaura border were Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Agartala, Arif Mohammad, along with First Secretary of the Embassy, Rezaul Haque Chowdhury, First Secretary Al Amin, and other embassy officials.

Expressing his delight, Arif Mohammad emphasized the importance of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's gesture, as approximately 500 kilograms of mangoes were sent to Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha, reported Northeast Today.

"The mangoes have been received through the Agartala-Akhaura Integrated Check Post, and we will make every effort to deliver them to the esteemed Chief Minister today.

This act not only brings joy but also serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted relationship between Tripura and Bangladesh," stated Arif Mohammad, the official from the Bangladesh embassy.
