A diplomatic gift is a gift given by a diplomat, politician or leader when visiting a foreign country. Usually the gift is reciprocated by the host. The use of diplomatic gifts dates back to the ancient world and givers have competed to outdo each other in the lavishness of their gifts.
Examples include silks given to the West by the Byzantines in the early Middle Ages, the luxury book, and panda diplomacy by the Chinese in the twentieth century.
Picha hapo chini ni Mh. Rais Dk. JP Magufuli akiwa na Waziri wa mashauri ya kigeni Prof. Kabudi wakikabidhi vitabu vya kiswahili kwa Rais wa Jamuhuri ya Afrika ya Kusini Mh. Ramaphosa katika harakati ya kuhakikisha lugha hii tamu inakuwa na kuenea kwa haraka zaidi nje ya mipaka ya Tanzania na Afrika ya Mashariki.

Gift exchanges take place in the ceremonial climate of toasts, banquets, speeches and formal greetings. A Diplomatic Gift often captures the essence of a nation, chosen for its ability to exhibit pride in a unique culture and people. Diplomatic Gifts may showcase traditions of fine or folk arts, crafts or craftsmanship.
They may display wealth in precious stones or metals, fine textiles and apparel. Gifts may draw from a rich heritage of antiques and antiquities or an expressive storehouse of cultural icons. This way the gift becomes more than a mere formality, but a reminder of the special alliance between the gift giver and receiver.
Kama tumeweza kumshawishi ndugu yetu Ramaphosa kujifunza kuzungumza kiswahili walau kile cha msingi tu, basi tunaweza pia kushawishi mabalozi wa nchi za kigeni katika kujifunza lugha hii adhimu kabisa na fahari yetu sisi watanzania kwa maana muandishi mashuhuri wa vitabu huko Marekani bwana
Barry Lopez alipata kusema maneno haya kwamba
For so many centuries, the exchange of gifts has held us together. It has made it possible to bridge the abyss where language struggles.
