Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi finishes the last leg of her trip to Oslo Monday with a joint appearance with U2 frontman Bono, who will present her with an Amnesty International award in Dublin Tuesday.
The Nobel laureate said Myanmar's reform had been brought about by the people of Myanmar, and other democracy movements.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) MYANMAR PRO-DEMOCRACY LEADER, AUNG SAN SUU KYI SAYING:
"First of all, I don't think about this journey as a celebration of my life. I think of it as a celebration of all those people who have supported the movement of democracy in Burma, because it is they who have made this possible for me to come on this journey."
Bono, who was at the event because of his work for Amnesty International, was asked how he felt meeting the pro-democracy leader.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) U2 FRONTMAN BONO, SAYING:
"I'm star-struck. I think that's the word, but I am managing to get over it. I'm looking, I'm pretending like I am not."
On Saturday, the Aung San Suu Kyi leader finally accepted her 1991 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, after spending 15 years under house arrest in Myanmar.
