Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of United States Vice President Joe Biden, is scheduled to visit Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sierra Leone from June 30 to July 7.
However it seems unlikely that President Michael Sata will be back in the country by then to receive the distinguished visitor.
Dr. Biden will be traveling with Rajiv Shah, Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Catherine Russell, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues, will also travel with Dr. Biden.
During their travel, Dr. Biden, Administrator Shah, and Ambassador Russell will highlight how girls education and womens participation in government, the economy, and civil society can accelerate economic development, improve health and educational outcomes, strengthen democratic governance, and foster peace and security. These themes will also be woven throughout the upcoming U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit held in Washington, D.C. in early August.
