Diplomatic gift

A diplomatic gift is a present or piece of item given by one country to another country to show friendship, goodwill, and respect. Usually, these gifts are items that have a special meaning to their home country. For example, a country might give a gift of a traditional dance costume to show that they appreciate the traditional art forms of the other country. It can also be something like jewelry or a painting to show that they appreciate the talented artists of the other country. Diplomatic gifts are like saying “it's nice to meet you” in the language of presents!
