Lahore/New Delhi, Dec 25 (IBNS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Friday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'statesman' after he decided to land in Pakistan on his way to India and meet his counterpart Nawaz Sharif.

"That's like a statesman. Padosi se aise hi rishte hone chahiyen. (One should have such a relationship with neighbours)," Swaraj tweeted.

Modi has already spoken to Sharif and wished him on his birthday.

"Spoke to PM Nawaz Sharif and wished him on his birthday," the PM said.

"Looking forward to meeting PM Nawaz Sharif in Lahore today afternoon, where I will drop by on my way back to Delhi," Modi tweeted.

He will meet the Pakistani leader on his way back to India after visiting Afghanistan.
