Nawaz Sharif sends mangoes to PM Modi
Islamabad, Sept 5 (IBNS) Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has sent mangoes to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, media reports said.
The Narendra Modi government in New Delhi called off talks with Pakistan scheduled in Islamabad on Aug 25 between the two foreign secretaries after Pakistan envoy invited and met the separatist leaders of Kashmir in New Delhi.
The move had hit the relationship between the two Asian nations.
"After the recent acrimony over Pakistan high commissioner Abdul Basit's meeting with separatists, which forced India to cancel the foreign secretary-level dialogue, PM Nawaz Sharif has made an attempt to reach out to his counterpart Narendra Modi. Sharif, according to top sources, sent a box of choicest Pakistani mangoes — mostly Sindhri and Chausa — to Modi," The Times of India reported.
"It is learnt that the mangoes, all personal favourites of Sharif, were delivered to Modi through 'official channels' on Wednesday evening," the newspaper said.
