Lady Michelle Obama will visit Mexico City, Mexico, April 13-15.
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.
Earlier this month president Zavala met with the First Lady during her visit to Washington in which the two discussed Mrs. Obama's campaign for childhood obesity, and undocumented Mexican minors in the U.S.
Mrs. Obama's trip to Mexico will be her first solo official trip as First Lady.
It is not known whether the First Lady speaks Spanish. Meanwhile her husband, President Obama admitted to not speaking a foreign language, says American children should learn to speak Spanish.
"Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English, they'll learn English. You need to make sure your child can speak Spanish", the president said in a town hall meeting in June of 2008 about having an English-only speaking society.
