On Friday, she will visit the Swiss parliament before heading for Oslo where she is due to deliver a speech for her 1991 Nobel Peace Prize.

Later in the trip, Aung San Suu Kyi will address Britain's parliament and receive an Amnesty International human rights award in Dublin .

Aung San Suu Kyi visits Europe for the first time in 24 years.
