Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has indicated her desire to run for the Presidency, with elections due to be held in 2015.
Addressing world leaders and heads of business at a major forum, the Nobel Peace laureate called for the amendment of the military-drafted Burmese constitution which prevents her from leading the country.
Burma's current constitution blocks anyone with spouses or children who are overseas citizens from leading the country - that affects the democracy activist because her two sons are British.
Suu Kyi told the forum, held in the Burmese capital of Naypyidaw, that she wants to run for President and she's "quite frank about it".
She also told the gathering that she wants economic growth for all of her country's citizens. She described Burma's Muslim population as 'big and complicated' and called on leaders to ensure the security of all people in Burma, whatever race or religion.
I am against the concept of revenge. But accountability is linked to courage, and I like courage -Aung San Suu Kyi #Myanmarfuture #WEF #EA13

Aung San Suu Kyi spent 15 years under house arrest after angering military leaders in Burma when she successfully ran for election in 1990. She was released in late 2010.
She travelled to Dublin last year to accept an Amnesty International away, which was presented to her by U2 frontman Bono.
