Aung San Suu Kyi delivers speech at Westminister Hall
The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, welcomed her, noting that she is the first figure other than a head of state and the first woman from abroad to deliver a speech there.
Aung San Suu Kyi said she would ask Britain to consider what it can do to help build the sound institutions needed to build a nascent parliamentary democracy.
She was sworn in as a member of Myanmar's parliament in May. Burma is on path of reforms but a quarter of parliamentary seats are still secured for the military.
