Angelina Jolie's India Visit

NEW DELHI, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Cameras flashing, reporters tracing. Hollywood star Angelina Jolie finally spoke out in public after one-month stay in India but not as a film star

The Hollywood actress, the Goodwill Ambassador of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), met with Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma here Sunday for issues of refugees and children. 


She showed up in Hyderabad House of Delhi alone in black dress and brown scarf of Indian style. Neither Brad Pitt nor her children were with her.
"We have wonderful talks about refugees here and children and orphans. I am very grateful to Indian people. They are generous and open to refugees," Jolie said after the meeting.
Jolie, accompanied by her five-year-old son Maddox, had visited the refugee camps run by the Khalsa Diwan Welfare Society and UNHCR Saturday afternoon after she arrived in Delhi.
Jolie has been in India since Oct. 5 for shooting a film A Mighty Heart based on the life of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped and killed in Pakistan. She played the role of Pearl's wife Mariane.
