Although the reason behind Michelle Obama’s visit isn’t clear, she had last year announced a $70 million contribution to educate adolescent girls in Pakistan as part of her “Let Girls Learn” initiative.
The First Lady’s visit to the Pakistan Embassy came at a time when relations between Pakistan and the US are strained on account of the drone strike in which Taliban supremo Mullah Akhtar Mansour was reportedly killed.
