Ivanka Trump Arrives in Hyderabad
Ivanka Trump, the Advisor and daughter of US President Donald Trump, arrived in Hyderabad early on Tuesday, 28 November, to participate in the Global Entrepreneurship Summit.
Ivanka will be leading a delegation of senior Trump administration officials and entrepreneurs at the three-day summit.
The world’s largest gathering of young entrepreneurs is being co-hosted by India and the United States.
It is “a testament to the strong friendship between our two people and the growing economic and security partnership between our two nations,” Ivanka Trump had told reporters during a preview of her India visit.
Ivanka, 36, has travelled to India before, but this is her maiden trip to the country as a senior presidential advisor. Accompanied by several top administration officials, a large number of Indian Americans are part of her delegation, which numbers 350 from 38 states.
To be inaugurated by Modi, more than 1,200 young entrepreneurs, a majority of whom are women, from 127 countries would attend the summit.
The summit would also be the first major engagement of the new American Ambassador to India, Ken Juster.

PM Violated Protocol by Hosting Dinner for Ivanka: Congress
The Congress on Wednesday raised objections over a dinner hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Ivanka Trump in Hyderabad, accusing him of violating protocol.
Congress spokesperson Deepinder Hooda told reporters if the prime minister wanted to host Trump, he could have done so privately at Delhi, where she could have flown in.
The prime minister broke all traditions and hosted a dinner for Ivanka Trump in Hyderabad. When she is being taken care of more than a head of state, then there is bound to be praise. Eager for praise and impatient for a photo-opportunity, the prime minister reached Hyderabad to host a dinner for her. When the prime minister made such a beginning, then it is her prerogative.Deepinder Hooda
