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 ex
pressed 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 kidney failure. Th
e Indian external affairs minister also has been diabetic for 20
years.She was admitted at a hospital in New Delhi on No
vember 7 due to kidney failure and also underwent dialysis.
Earlier, she had tweeted, “I am in AIIMS because of kidney 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 attack. 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 strain
ing of ties.
