Accompanied by former EU Special Envoy for Burma and current mayor of Turin Piero Fassino, Minister for Foreign Affairs Giulio Terzi invited Aung San Suu Kyi to “come to Italy and visit Turin and all the other Italian cities that have granted her honorary citizenship over the years”. This was Terzi’s announcement as he spoke with journalists at the end of a meeting with the Nobel laureate in her home in Yangon that was also her prison for many years.
During the meeting Aung San Suu Kyi said that “Italy, a member of the EU, has supported the democratic movement for decades and we expect the same support in the future”.
