The Global Entrepreneurship Summit which is being co-hosted by India and the US would be held in Hyderabad from November 28-30.

What is the Global Entrepreneurship Summit?
GES 2017
The GES is a platform which brings together entrepreneurs and global business leaders.
India would be hosting the event for the first time. It assumes significance as it comes amid strained bilateral ties, pressured further by Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric.
The first GES was organized in 2010 in Washington DC. Subsequent events were held at Dubai, Istanbul, Marrakesh and elsewhere.
Ivanka's contentious role in the White House
Ivanka Trump
Ivanka, Assistant to the President, and her husband Jared Kushner have both taken up unpaid roles in the Trump cabinet.
The move raised eyebrows since neither has any experience in policy-making.
She has featured in several of Trump's official appointments, including his meetings with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
She also filled in for Trump at the Hamburg G20 Summit.
