Michelle Obama Watch is headed to Mexico City. Well not exactly, First Lady Michelle Obama is traveling to Mexico and we’ll be watching from this side of the border. In April Mrs Obama is headed to Mexico City in her first official trip as a First Lady. According to the White House Press Secretary…
In recognition of the deep ties between the United States and Mexico, First Lady Michelle Obama will visit Mexico City, Mexico, April 13-15, on her first solo official trip as First Lady. Mrs. Obama’s international agenda will amplify the President’s commitment to advancing mutual interests, mutual respect and mutual responsibility between nations and peoples around the world. During this visit, Mrs. Obama will have the opportunity to engage the citizens of Mexico, particularly young people, and build on her recent conversation with Mexican First Lady Margarita Zavala de Calderon on the issues of education and economic advancement in both countries.
Back in February the two First Ladies met at the White House. They discussed obesity, diabetes, addictions, and the situation of undocumented Mexican minors in the United States. They spoke about the ties between Mexico and the United States in working on these issues.
