Hyderabad has been decked up to host the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, which will be inaugurated by Prime Minster Narendra Modi tomorrow.


US President Donald Trump's daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump (pictured) will lead a delegation from her country at the three-day event.


In view of the event's prominence, the Telangana government allotted funds for the city's beautification and for the arrangements of the summit, a senior official said.


"Utmost care is being taken for the smooth functioning of the event," he said. The event will primarily focus on four thematic sectors -- energy and infrastructure; healthcare and life sciences; financial technology and digital economy; and media and entertainment sectors, according to its agenda.


Officials of the Special Protection Group and the US Secret Service have visited Hyderabad and reviewed the arrangements, an official at the police commissionerate said.  -- PTI
