White House Advisor Ivanka Trump will lead the U.S. delegation to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in India this November, President Donald Trump, her father, announced on Twitter Thursday, Aug. 10.

“Ivanka Trump will lead the U.S. delegation to India this fall, supporting women’s entrepreneurship globally,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited Ivanka Trump to India during his visit to the White House in June, according to The Hill. Modi sent a Twitter message to more than 30 million of his followers on Thursday saying that he looks forward to Ivanka Trump’s visit.

“The summit is a unique opportunity for bringing together entrepreneurs and startups with global leaders,” Modi wrote.

The president’s daughter, who will turn 36 in October, is well suited to lead the delegation to the entrepreneurship summit having started and developed several businesses of her own.
