Myanmar’s iconic opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi will pay a two-day visit to Gwangju, the center of South Korea’s democracy movements, on Jan. 30, the May 18 Memorial Foundation said Wednesday.
The foundation said that the chairperson of the National League of Democracy has been invited to attend the 2013 Special Olympics World Games.
She will also join a dinner ceremony hosted by the city and the foundation on Jan. 30. The next day, she is scheduled to visit the cemetery honoring democracy fighters in the city and deliver a lecture at Chonnam National University.
The foundation conferred to her its annual human rights award in 2004.
Since her release in November 2010 after spending 15 years under house arrest since 1989, she has reached out to people suffering from poverty and social and political oppression.
Suu Kyi entered parliament after her NLD party won a landslide victory in the April 1 by-elections. Her electoral win added momentum to ongoing political and economic reforms in the country and helped contain lingering skepticism about the nominally civilian government’s will for democratization.
