A Pakistani child with a hole in his heart who was issued a medical visa on the intervention of Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj arrived in India on Monday for treatment.

New Delhi (Sputnik) — Baby Rohaan came to India via the border at Wagah on Monday and will be treated in Jaypee Hospitals in Noida, near New Delhi.

"Keeping aside the tensions between the two countries, the minister did a noble act of thinking about the child's health," a statement from the Jaypee Hospitals said. "We welcome the baby and family and are pleased to know that with our expert doctors and world class services that we provide, we are able to build trust for us in people across nations."

In spite of the rivalry between neighbors India and Pakistan, humanitarian gestures like this one work to soothe the climate between the two countries.

Due to the minister's initiative, Rohaan obtained a medical visa to come to India for his treatment.

​Earlier, Rohaan's father sought the help of Minister Swaraj as he was denied a visa due to hostile conditions between the two countries.
