New Delhi: US President Donald Trump's entrepreneur daughter Ivanka, who is flying to India next week to attend a business conclave, will have a lot of non-business-y things to do when she is in Hyderabad, including a trip to the Falaknuma Palace.
Ivanka Trump, described as her father's most influential adviser, will address the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 28 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC).
A former model, who also founded her eponymous fashion line, Ivanka will speak at a session on 'Women first, prosperity for all'. Reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan will also be present on the inaugural day. About 1,500 delegates, over half of them women, from 150 countries will participate in the three-day summit.
Besides attending the official dinner to be hosted by PM Modi at the 101-seater dining table, one of the longest in the world and a highlight of the Falaknuma Palace, Ivanka will take a tour of the opulent palace, a majestic blend of Italian and Tudor architecture. Built in 1893, the scorpion-shaped palace with its luxurious interiors was converted into a hotel by the Taj Group about a decade ago.
As most VVIPs will leave the city on the first day itself, Ivanka will have about 24 hours in the city during which she is expected to visit the old city as well as the Charminar, the iconic symbol of Hyderabad which is just three km from Falaknuma.
The US first daughter is also likely to shop at Laad Bazaar or Choodi Bazaar, which is famous for its bangles, semi-precious stones, pearls, jewellery and silverware etc.
While Ivanka's schedule has been kept a secret by the US authorities, Telangana government officials have not ruled out the possibility of her visit to historic Makkah Masjid and Chowmohalla Palace, both located near Charminar.
The Telangana police have made elaborate security arrangements for her visit which include commandos armed with sniper rifles and bulletproof and mine-resistant Limousines.
With less than a week to go for the summit, the city is busy with the preparations. As Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao hosts a dinner for the delegates at the historic Golconda Fort, it has been given a uick spruce up. The roads in the city have been recarpeted, the buildings have got a fresh coat of paint and efforts are on to ensure a beggar-free city, which the authorities have clarified is not related to Ivanka Trump's visit.
