External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his "inspirational" message, a day after Modi praised her for "wonderfully" highlighting India's contribution to the UN.

In tweets, Swaraj also said that she was back from New York and would be travelling to poll-bound Bihar tomorrow.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your words of inspiration," she tweeted.

Modi had yesterday praised Swaraj for "wonderfully" highlighting India's contribution to the UN during her speech at the UN General Assembly.

"Just spoke to @SushmaSwaraj ji & congratulated her for the excellent speech at the @UN. A perfect articulation of key global issues," Modi had said in a tweet.

Apart from taking on Pakistan, asking it to shun terror to have dialogue with India, Swaraj also spoke about key issues including India's initiative on climate change and urgent need for UN Security Council reforms.
