Sushma Swaraj, Khwaja Asif exchange pleasantries

United Nations: Pakistan Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif on Friday said he exchanged pleasantries with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj and inquired about her health.

Asif told a group of Pakistani journalists at a news conference that they exchanged pleasantries at a diplomatic reception here.

Swaraj, according to Asif, said she is doing fine now.

The External Affairs Minister last year underwent a kidney transplant surgery at the AIIMS in New Delhi.

However, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar did not respond to questions over the exchange of pleasantries between the two leaders.
