Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif sent a bouquet for the head of India's ruling Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, about a week back when he learnt of her sudden illness.

The 66-year-old had to be admitted in a hospital in New Delhi on August 26 after she fell sick during a debate in the parliament.

On Sharif's directive, the Foreign Office instructed its High Commission in New Delhi to get flowers delivered to Gandhi, the Nation reports.

A bouquet was sent with a 'get well' message and warm wishes on behalf of the Prime Minister. Pakistan's High Commissioner Salman Bashir was tasked to do the needful.

According to the report, Gandhi appreciated the goodwill gesture by Sharif and conveyed her thanks to the Prime Minister.
