US President Donald Trump has applauded his daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump’s “great work” in promoting women entreprene­urs during her visit to India.

Ivanka is currently in India leading a high- profile US delegation to the Global Entreprene­urship Summit ( GES) in Hyderabad being co- hosted by the two countries.

This is not the first time Ivanka is visiting India. But yes, this is her first visit to India as a senior presidenti­al advisor.

“Great work Ivanka,” Mr Trump said in a latenight tweet as he retweeted State Department which said that Ivanka’s comments on US efforts to fuel entreprene­urship so that Americans can turn their dreams into incredible legacies.

US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley also praised 36year- old Ivanka.

“Thrilled to see” Ivanka Trump “in India promoting female entreprene­urs. At home that means improving workforce developmen­t and cutting government red tape,” Haley said in a tweet on Tuesday.

Haley is the highest ranking Indian- American in the Trump administra­tion. She is also the first ever Indian American serving in the Cabinet of any presidenti­al administra­tion.

“Globally it means creating an environmen­t where women- across the world- have access to the capital & mentorship they need to succeed,” Ms Haley said.

In recent weeks, Ms Haley said that she was planning to visit India this year but could not go because of her other pressing engagement, but hopes to travel soon.

The State Department spokespers­on, Heather Nauert, also praised Ivanka for her accomplish­ments in Hyderabad.
