Michelle Obama To Make Solo Trip To China
First Lady Michelle Obama will make a weeklong solo visit to China later this month - her first trip to the Asian economic powerhouse, the White House has announced.
Mrs Obama plans to meet with China's first lady and make stops to visit high school and university students.
The first lady called the trip an "important stop".
"With more than 1.3 billion people, China is the most populous country on earth, and it plays an important role on the world stage," Mrs Obama wrote in a White House blog.
"My husband and I take the time to visit countries like China because we know that today, more than ever before, our lives here in America are connected to the lives of people around the world."
The White House said Mrs Obama will travel from March 19-26.
