Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar referenced the personalized Magnum revolver he received from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Ankara NATO summit after sharing that Pakistan's prime minister sent him 90 mangoes.
In a social media post, Magyar noted a pleasant surprise waiting in his office at the end of a historic day, explaining that the mangoes were a gift from Pakistan's prime minister. He added that only a few of the fruits were left within an hour.
“Not everyone gives a revolver as a gift,” Magyar wrote, referring to the custom-engraved handgun Erdogan presented to NATO leaders.
Magyar's post brought renewed attention to the diplomatic gifts presented during the NATO summit, where Erdogan gave select heads of state and government Magnum revolvers engraved with their names.
Following the summit, Magyar had shared that Erdogan gave him the unusual present: a personalized Magnum revolver complete with ammunition.
“NATO summit gift from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan: a Magnum revolver engraved with my name, together with bullets,” Magyar noted at the time.
The gifts drew attention after the functional revolvers prompted several countries to apply security and import protocols.
As a result, some leaders opted to leave the weapons in Türkiye, while others handed them over to security units upon their return.
Because the international transport of working firearms is subject to regulations, additional security steps were reportedly applied in different countries.
Magyar's latest post, after receiving mangoes from Pakistan, has once again pushed the NATO summit gifts into public discussion.
