During her visit, the actor also met the President of Ethiopia, Sahle-Work Zewde, the first woman to hold the office.

Expressing her gratitude, Priyanka posted a picture with the president on social media and wrote, "I had the honor of meeting Madam President Sahle-Work Zewde, the first female president of Ethiopia. Her fierce commitment to the empowerment and advancement of women is unprecedented. Ethiopia #AChildIsAChild #ForEveryChild."

The 36-year-old actor also shared a few other videos and pictures from the visit where she can be seen dancing and sharing light moments with local kids.
