Washington, June 26 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appreciated External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for the way she and her ministry have been helping people in distress.

Modi said the Indian minister and the MEA have set an example of effectively using social media in the path of delivering good governance.

During a community event in Virginia, Modi appreciated Swaraj and said: "It is for everyone to see how MEA has, in addition to their routine work, emerged as a strong humanitarian force for Indians globally."

He said: "Our foreign ministry and in particular our foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj has shown the way in helping people."

He said:"It is now well known in India- anyone in trouble tweets to Sushma Ji, she promptly replies and the Government takes prompt action."

Modi is currently in the US.

He will be meeting US president Donald Trump for the first time later in the day.
