Pope Francis is due to receive Burmese State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi at the Vatican on Thursday May 4, the Holy See has said.
La Croixreports the Pope will receive Aung San Suu Kyi in a private meeting, as she is neither a head of state nor officially head of government.
The two met previously in October 2013, when Aung San Suu Kyi was still leader of the opposition to the military government in Rangoon.
Since coming to power a little over a year ago, the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner has become a more controversial figure.
