It was a historical day when Sahle-Work Zewde was elected as Ethiopia's first female president, and Jolie made an inspiring gesture for her daughter Zahara's 15th birthday to meet the newly-elected leader of her birth country.

TRAVELING TO ETHIOPIA TO MEET ITS FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT

According to sources, Jolie thought the trip to Ethiopia would be a great experience for her kids, and feels it's important for Zahara to keep the connection with her birth country strong.

It is also a bonus that they got to meet Sahle-Work Zewde, who now serves as an inspiration to young girls like Zahara.

Along with Zahara, her 13-year-old daughter Shiloh also had the opportunity to meet the president, as she was also born in the African country.

Jolie expressed her desires to move abroad, but her back-and-forth custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt is making it difficult.

While her 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne were also with them in Ethiopia, they did not meet the president like her siblings did.

Previously, she set out on a world tour with her children as they promoted the movie "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," which none of her kids chose to feature in.

The last time they made a cameo at one of their mom's movies is when Vivienne starred as young Aurora in the first installation of the film.

Angelina shares five children with ex-husband Brad Pitt: Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and twins, Knox and Vivienne, 10. Jolie also adopted her first child, Maddox, who is now 18-years-old.
