MALE’, Maldives — In a delectably diplomatic move, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser of Bangladesh, has gifted a vibrant batch of the country’s renowned mangoes to President Dr. Mohammed Muizzu. The juicy fruit, bursting with the sweet essence of Bangladesh’s orchards, was sent as a flavorful symbol of the deep friendship between the two South Asian nations.
