Ivanka to attend women´s economic summit in Berlin

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump´s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump will attend a women´s empowerment summit in Berlin next month sponsored by the Group of 20 major economic powers.

Dubbed the W20 summit and held this year under the Germany-led G20, the meeting´s themes will include gender pay equality, the relatively small number of female executives and women as entrepreneurs.

"Looking forward to promoting the role of women in the economy and the future of our workforce globally #W20," Ivanka Trump posted on Twitter, confirming the news she would attend first reported by The Washington Post.

The 35-year-old daughter of the US Republican president -- who was managing her own company before moving with her family to Washington to advise her father -- has an office at the White House although she is not a government employee.

On Monday, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted women small business owners at the White House for a roundtable meeting.

Since Trump´s inauguration on January 20, Ivanka Trump has been a visible presence at his high-level diplomatic visits.

Most recently, she participated in a round-table discussion with the president and Chancellor Angela Merkel during the German leader´s visit to the White House on March 17.
