Aung San Suu Kyi receives Congressional Medal

Myanmar’s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi of National League for Democracy, received prestigious Congressional Gold Medal, a rare honour to any foreign leader by the US administration.

“This is one of the most moving days of my life, to be here in a house undivided, a house joined together to welcome a stranger from a distant land. This is a moment for which I have been waiting for many years,” Suu Kyi said receiving the honour.

“To be a full human being, we need both security and freedom. Without security, we cannot rest in peace necessary to discover the world to be the beautiful place that it can be. Without freedom we will be deprived of the opportunities that will make us more human and more humane,” she added.
