London: Indian Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai on Friday agreed to work jointly to build “strong relations” between their countries, amid growing tensions along the border.
“We will work together and try to build strong relations” between India and Pakistan, she said, adding that it was “really disappointing” that India and Pakistan were engaged in confrontation.
Malala said she and Satyarthi had a telephonic conversation during which they agreed to appeal to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to join them for the award ceremony in December. She also made a “humble request” to Sharif and Modi to ensure peace.
Malala also said she was “honoured” to be the first Pakistani and the youngest person to be given the award and dedicated the award to the “voiceless”. (PTI)
