ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday wrote a letter to Indian Foreign Affairs Minister SushmaSwaraj and wished her speedy recovery, following
her kidney transplant surgery earlier this month.
The letter
by PM Nawaz Sharif is being referred to as a goodwill gesture. The premier also expressed wish for talks between the two neighbouring countries to resolve bilateral issues, according to Indian media reports.
Swaraj went through a kidney transplant on December 10 after facing acute kidn
ey failure. The Indian external affairs minister also has been diabetic for 20 years.She was admitted at a hospital in New De
lhi on November 7 due to kidn
ey failure and also underwent dialysis.
Earlier, she had tweeted, “I am in AIIMS because of kidn
ey failure. Presently, I am on dialysis. I am undergoing tests for a Kidney transplant.”
The ties between the two neighbouring countries have been strained since the Uri atta
ck. Pakistan had earlier this week freed more than 200 Indian fishermen as a goodwill gesture and an apparent ice-breaker between India and Pakistan after straining of ties.
