Ms Suu Kyi has not visited Europe since 1988 after years spent under house
arrest.
The visit marks a new milestone in the political changes that have swept Burma
since decades of military rule were curtailed last year, bringing to power a
new quasi-civilian government.
Switzerland is the first stop on the more than two-week tour taking her to
Norway, Britain, France and Ireland and which will include a speech in Oslo
for her 1991 Nobel Peace Prize.
Burma has been rocked by sectarian violence between Buddhists and Muslim
Rohingya that has left dozens dead. President Thein Sein has warned of the
threat of disruption to the fragile reform process.
The president is credited for a series of reforms including releasing hundreds
of political prisoners, signing peace pacts with armed rebel groups and
welcoming Ms Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party back into
mainstream politics.
The ILO, a United Nations agency which draws up and monitors international
labour standards, has sought for years to end forced labour which it says is
widespread there.
In March the government signed an action plan to eliminate it outright by 2015.
Ms Suu Kyi will then take the train to the capital Bern where she will meet
with Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter.
“The political situation in Myanmar, which is currently undergoing a
process of opening up, will be the focus of the talks,” a Foreign
Ministry statement said.
Ms Suu Kyi will dine with Swiss President Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf in the
evening and visit parliament before heading to Oslo on Friday.
Later in the trip the 67-year-old activist will address parliament in
Westminster and receive an Amnesty International human rights award in
Dublin from rock star Bono.
The daughter of Burma’s independence hero General Aung San won her first ever
seat in parliament in April, prompting Western nations to start rolling back
sanctions.
