The Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats (CALD), on the sidelines of the UK Liberal Democrats Annual Conference currently being held in Liverpool has awarded the honorary individual membership plaque to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Laureate, Burma’s leader of the opposition, and one of Asia’s most revered icons of democracy. The plaque has been received on Daw Suu’s behalf by Ms. Zoya Phan, International Coordinator of the Burma Campaign, UK. Apart from prominent members of the CALD delegation including the CALD Chair, Dr. Rajiva Wijesinha, and CALD Secretary General, Dr. Neric Acosta, the ceremonies have been witnessed by members of the Liberal International (LI) Bureau.
CALD’s Executive Committee (Execom) previously decided to bestow the honorary individual membership title to Daw Suu in its meeting held in Makati City, Philippines, on June 29, 2010. She is the first person to be awarded such title by the organization.
