美國第一夫人在日推廣”讓女孩學習”倡議

United States First Lady Michelle Obama is continuing her trip to Japan, where she is touting an initiative aimed at helping girls in developing countries finish their education.

Speaking alongside her Japanese counterpart, Akie Abe, on Thursday, Mrs. Obama said the U.S. and Japan would work together on the White House's Let Girls Learn initiative.

The initiative, which aims to help educate the 62 million girls globally who do not attend school, was recently unveiled by Mrs. Obama and her husband.

The U.S. Peace Corps will work alongside the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers and other international aid groups to help implement the program.

The U.S. first lady also met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday. She also plans to meet with the emperor and empress of Japan before heading to the tourist hotspot, Kyoto, on Friday.美國第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬繼續訪問日本。她在訪問期間推廣一項旨在幫助發展中國家的女孩們完成學業的倡議。

米歇爾星期四說，美國和日本將一道推行白宮提出的“讓女孩學習”倡議。她講話時，日本首相夫人安倍昭惠站在一旁。

這項倡議旨在幫助世界各地沒有上學的6200萬女孩接受教育。該倡議是奧巴馬伕婦最近提出的。
