Aung San Suu Kyi to speak in Parliament

Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is to make a historic address to both Houses of Parliament as she ventures out of her country for the first time in more than two decades.

She will be making a week long visit commencing on June 18, when she will address MPs and peers at Westminster.

It is likely to be an emotional trip for Ms Suu Kyi - who has not been outside Burma since returning in 1988 - giving her the chance to be re-united with her sons and grandchildren whom she barely knows.
