Aung San Suu Kyi to visit US

Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be visiting the US in September.

During her visit, she will meet with government officials and receive awards from the US Congress and the Atlantic Council think tank.

Patrick Ventrell, a US State Department spokesperson, told media : "We look forward to an appropriate date welcoming Aung San Suu Kyi here to the State Department and her having bilateral meetings in the US."

Suu Kyi spent over 20 years on house arrest before being released in 2010.

She made her debut in the Myanmar Parliament after a 2 week European tour.
