Oslo: Myanmar’s opposition leader and democracy crusader Aung San Suu Kyi has finally received her 1991 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo.
Addressing the event, Suu Kyi said that the Nobel Peace Prize she won while under house arrest 21 years ago helped to shatter her sense of isolation.
Expressing his views, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said, “I am delighted to be able to receive Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in Norway. After more than 20 years’ struggle, she is finally able to take an active part in politics.”
“The fact that we can finally receive Suu Kyi here in Oslo is a concrete demonstration of the changes that have taken place. They represent a historic turning point for the country,” he added.
