  • Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar received 90 mangoes as a gift from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
  • Magyar shared on social media that the mangoes were a pleasant surprise and were quickly consumed by his office.
  • He contrasted this gift with antique revolvers with ammunition given to world leaders at a recent NATO summit.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar shared a sweet surprise he received from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif: 90 mangoes. Magyar posted on social media about the unexpected gift, describing it as a "pleasant surprise" at the end of a "historic day."

He humorously noted that the mangoes disappeared almost as quickly as they arrived, with only a few remaining within an hour. "Not everyone gives a revolver as a gift," Magyar wrote, referencing the antique revolvers with ammunition that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan distributed to world leaders at a recent NATO summit.

The revolvers were identified as Gumusay .357 Magnum models, a rare six-shot firearm produced by the Turkish state company MKE in the 1990s. These weapons were presented in wooden display cases adorned with the Turkish flag, NATO logo, and a plaque stating, "Gumusay, the first revolver produced in our country."

While many leaders took home the historical firearms, Magyar playfully indicated his preference for the tropical fruit, which, judging by his post, proved to be a much more popular treat in his office.

Not everyone gives a revolver as a gift. At the end of a historic day, a pleasant surprise was waiting for me in my office. We received 90 mangoes as a gift from the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Within an hour, only a few were left. Thank you!
