A rapturous standing ovation greeted Aung San Suu Kyi at the Swiss parliament on the second day of her landmark European trip Friday, after she cancelled her engagements the night before due to exhaustion.
The Myanmar democracy icon, who is on her first trip to Europe after years under house arrest, resumed her schedule after resting on Thursday evening following a packed day of speeches and receptions.
"She feels better, she has a little headache, the programme is maintained as scheduled," said a member of her delegation who asked not to be named.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who is in Europe for the first time in 24 years, had cancelled a dinner with Swiss President Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf in Bern on Thursday after cutting short a press conference where she had vomited.
Suu Kyi, 66, told reporters she was "totally exhausted" from travelling.
"It is a great honour that Switzerland was chosen as the first European country to be visited," the head of the lower chamber of parliament, Hansjoerg Walter, said as he welcomed Suu Kyi.
