The UK Foreign Office refused to confirm the news that Miss Suu Kyi, the Democracy leader in Burma was to make a "symbolic visit" to Britain after accepting an invitation to travel to Norway. The spokesman said she is still considering the Prime Minister' David Cameron's invite, which was delivered during his historic visit to Burma last week. Earlier, a spokesman for the democracy campaigner said she is to make this symbolic visit to Britain after accepting the invitation from Cameron. Her visit to Norway in June this year means that this would be the first time for her to leave Burma in two decades. The trip is evidence of Ms Suu Kyi's growing confidence in the reforming credentials of Burma's president Thein Sein, commentators said. Previously, she had refused to go abroad for fear that she would not be allowed back into the country.
