Nyan Win, a spokesman for Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy, said Wednesday that Suu Kyi will visit Norway and Britain.
The 66-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate has not left Burma since she came back from Britain to visit her ailing mother in 1988 because of fears she would not be allowed to return.
The announcement comes after last week’s visit to Burma by British Prime Minister David Cameron.
