New York: US President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump today met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and discussed about women’s entrepreneurship and workforce development in their countries.
Ivanka, who would be leading the US delegation to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in India in November, met Swaraj on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly session here. “We had a great discussion on women’s entrepreneurship, the upcoming #GES2017 and workforce development in the US and India,” Ivanka said in a tweet after the meeting.
India and the US will co-host the GES in Hyderabad from November 28 to 30. The GES is the preeminent annual gathering of emerging entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders from around the world. Ivanka, 35, took to Twitter to express her respect for 65-year-old Swaraj, whom she described as the “charismatic” foreign minister.
“I have long respected India’s accomplished and charismatic Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, and it was an honour to meet her today,” Ivanka said. Swaraj discussed “women empowerment” and Ivanka’s forthcoming visit to India, the Indian Embassy in the US said in a tweet.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had personally invited Ivanka for the GES event during his meeting with President Trump in Washington in June this year. During her week-long stay here, the minister, leading a high-powered Indian delegation, is expected to hold about 20 bilateral and trilateral meetings with leaders attending the session.
