Although, the reasons behind Michelle Obama’s visit to the embassy are still not known, it is being speculated that it could have links with her ‘Let Girls Learn’ campaign.
As part of the campaign, the US First Lady last year had announced a contribution of $70 million for educating adolescent girls in Pakistan.
