"We had a great discussion on women's entrepreneurship, the upcoming #GES2017 and workforce development in the US and India," she said in another tweet.

Ivanka, who would be leading American delegation to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in India in November, discussed about women's entrepreneurship and workforce development in the two countries.

The Indian Embassy in the US also said that Sushma Swaraj discussed 'Women Empowerment' and Ivanka's forthcoming visit to India.

During her week-long stay, Swaraj is expected to hold about 20 bilateral and trilateral meetings with leaders attending the session.

Swaraj is scheduled to leave for India, a day after her address to the UN General Assembly on September 23.
