London School Of Economics: Public Event

Aung San Suu Kyi Dept: Suu Kyi's first public event was a debate Tuesday at the London School of Economics on how Burma, also known as Myanmar, can move to the rule of law, a reminder of the tough road ahead for the leader of the Southeast Asian country's reform movement, according to CBC. She said that "the progress that we hope to make with regard to democratization and reform depends so much on an understanding of the importance of the rule of law." Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi celebrated her 67th birthday at the start of a week-long visit to Britain, telling hundreds of students and academics that time alone will not heal the wounds of her country. Suu Kyi told the audience that "time will not heal. There has to be acknowledgment" of the wrongs of the past. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
