This is Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s final week in office, with the dispatch of seasonal fresh mangoes coming a day before the expected dissolution of Parliament on Wednesday.
The dissolution of the National Assembly days ahead of the end of its natural term will pave the way for an interim government to hold the next general elections in the country within the constitutional stipulated time of 90 days.
Pakistani mangoes are celebrated for their sweet taste, aroma, and quality the world over, with several local varieties including the Sindhri, Chaunsa, Langra, Sonaro and Saroli mangoes in high demand in the international market.
Pakistani leaders often exchange the seasonal mango fruit with foreign dignitaries as not only a culinary tradition but a symbol of friendship and mutual respect.
