She made a special mention of India's Permanent Representative in the UN Syed Akbaruddin while hailing her ministry's team.
"Congratulations to Justice Dalveer Bhandari on his reelection as a Judge of the ICJ. Huge efforts by Team - MEA.
Syed Akbaruddin @AkbaruddinIndia our Permanent Representative in UN deserves a special mention," she said on Twitter.
Bhandari was today re-elected to the International Court of Justice as the General Assembly overwhelmingly threw its weight behind him, forcing Britain to withdraw its candidate from a hard-fought race to the World Court.
Following his election, Swaraj had tweeted, "Vande Matram - India wins election to the International Court of Justice. JaiHind".
