Pakistani President Arif Alvi's mango shipments, including the famous Chaunsa, Anwar Rattol and Sindhari varieties, were sent as part of Pakistan's mango diplomacy, but were refused by 32 countries including the US, Canada, China, Turkey, Russia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal due to coronavirus restrictions and quarantine rules. This is not the first time Pakistan's mango shipments have been refused, in 2018 the UK refused three shipments and imposed sanctions on the mango exporter.
