Myanmar democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi said Thursday she hoped to travel abroad "in the near future", in what would be the Nobel laureate's first visit to another country since 1988.
Suu Kyi, who spent much of the past 22 years under house arrest until her release in 2010, said she would like to travel outside Myanmar, also known as Burma, if only for "a matter of days, or even a matter of hours".
"I hope though that in the near future, it will be possible for me to travel out of Burma, and that then I will be able to come to you, and be part of your campus life, for perhaps just a very short period," she said in a video message as she received an honorary doctorate in law from the University of Hong Kong.
