Suu Kyi to address British Parliament
20 May 2012 9:13 AM GMT
Pro-democracy icon and Nobel laureate Aung Saan Suu Kyi will address a joint session of both Houses of Britain's Parliament next month during her first visit outside Myanmar in nearly 25 years, official sources said.
The announcement about Suu Kyi's week-long visit starting from 18 June was made by Prime Minister David Cameron's aides at Camp David in the US, where he is attending the G8 summit.
Before coming to Britain, she is expected to visit Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize (announced in 1991).
Suu Kyi's stay in Britain will most probably include a visit to Oxford, where she studied, married the late academic Michael Aris and lived for many years.
