Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi kicks off a landmark five-nation tour of Europe on 13 June. Her visit to the continent - part of her first international tour in 24 years - is to include stops in Geneva, Oslo, Dublin, London and Paris.
Among the highlights is a trip to Norway, where Suu Kyi is to formally accept the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded in 1991, but was unable to collect in person. The leader was under house arrest for 15 years of the past two decades and, even when free, was afraid to leave Myanmar in case the country's military junta barred her return.

"I would like to do my best for the interests of the people," Suu Kyi told reporters before her plane left Yangon airport.
She will visit Switzerland, Norway, Britain, France and Ireland on her more than two week tour, which will include a speech in Oslo for her 1991 Nobel Peace Prize.
She leaves as western Burma is rocked by sectarian violence between Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya that has left dozens dead and prompted President Thein Sein to warn of disruption to the fragile reform process.
Suu Kyi could face calls in Europe to address the underlying sectarian issues, although analysts say she may instead choose to focus on the wider topic of human rights.
