NEW DELHI: Attempting to break the ice, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has wished speedy recovery to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj who underwent a kidney transplant recently.
According to official sources, Sharif wrote a letter to Swaraj wishing her quick recovery.On December 25, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a tweet message had greeted his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on his birthday.
Swaraj had undergone a kidney transplant on December 10 and was discharged from New Delhi-based AIIMS on December 19 after successful transplant.

The move, observed as a ‘goodwill gesture’ by Pakistan, came amid strain in ties after the recent cross-border terror incidents.
The first batch of 110 fishermen reportedly arrived in Vadodara from Amritsar and will soon leave for their natives places to reunite with their families.
