Norwegian government leaders said they have eagerly awaited Saturday's speech at Oslo City Hall since Suu Kyi won the world's highest diplomatic honor in 1991. But Suu Kyi said she never doubted that she would travel one day to Oslo to give her honorific lecture. Yes of course, I always believed that. That's why I have always said that the first time I traveled abroad I would come to Norway," she said in answer to a reporter's question. I never doubted that. Did you? Despite being under house arrest at the time, Suu Kyi did receive the actual prize in 1991 and used its cash reward to create scholarship programs for Burmese youth. Her two British-based teenage sons accepted the prize on her behalf in Oslo that year. She arrived Friday in Norway from Switzerland, her first stop on a planned two-week tour of Europe also taking in Ireland, Britain and France. The journey is her first in Europe since 1988, the year she left her husband and two young sons in England to visit her ill mother back home - and became the focal point for the country's nascent democracy movement. Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi briefs the media after a meeting with Norway Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg at the Norway government guest house in Oslo, Friday, June 15, 2012. Suu Kyi formally accept the Nobel Peace Prize on Saturday June 16, 2012, in the Norwegian capital, that originally thrust her into the global limelight two decades ago. "You have dedicated your life to the struggle for democracy in your country, and you are an inspiration for all of us," Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told Suu Kyi during a joint press conference Friday. The new political reality in Myanmar is remarkable. We have witnessed great changes in less than a year. Your presence here in Oslo is proof that your long fight for democracy and justice for your people is really paying off. Suu Kyi made it to Oslo despite falling ill Thursday at a press conference. Her aides said she was suffering from exhaustion due to overwork and jet lag. She appeared tired at Friday's Oslo events, including a nighttime castle dinner with Norway's King Harald and Queen Sonja, but made no comment on it. After Saturday's Nobel speech, Suu Kyi is scheduled to tour an elaborate display at the fjord-side Nobel Peace Center chronicling her life's key moments of despair, determination and triumph, then address an outdoor rally at Oslo City Hall. " (Her visit) means a lot to the Norwegian people because we admire her so much and we have longed to see her coming here and give her Nobel speech," said the executive director of the Nobel center, Bente Erichsen. Suu Kyi is scheduled to spend three days in Oslo and the Norwegian city of Bergen, then travel to the Irish capital, Dublin, on Monday for a celebrity-studded concert in her honor with U2 frontman Bono. After that, it's back to Oxford University, where she studied before her 1980s blossoming into the leading voice for democracy in Myanmar, also known as Burma. Bono was expected to join her at an Oslo press conference Monday and then fly with her to Dublin, where he's to present her with another award postponed by her long home imprisonment - Amnesty International's Ambassador of Conscience. Bono unveiled that award at a Dublin U2 concert in 2009.
