Pakistan has successfully managed to export its traditional mangoes to Japan and a special ceremony was held here to celebrate the occasion, according to reports from Tokyo.
Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) Chairman Tariq Puri, who is currently visiting Japan, addressing a gathering said it was possible due to the cooperation and assistance of the Japanese government that Pakistan has been able to export to the Japanese market.
