"the wonderful thing that i have learned since i have been in india is there are many needs for your own people and yet you have all been so gracious and been so open to many, many refugees over the years," jolie said after meeting sharma.

sharma said they had talked about "indian traditions and also the great influence of mahatma gandhi and his philosophy of peace and non-violence".

gandhi is an icon of india's independence movement which ended in its freedom from british colonial rule in 1947. sharma said india acknowledged "with appreciation the good work" which joie has done in sudan's darfur region, cambodia and ivory coast.
