Burmese Leader Suu Kyi to Make First Foreign Trip in 24 Years 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has confirmed plans to
travel outside Burma for the first time in 24 years. Suu Kyi has
accepted invitations to visit Norway and Britain in June for what will
be her first trip since her detention in 1989. Suu Kyi was elected to
Burma's parliament earlier this month.
