Speaking for the first time after winning the Nobel Peace Prize along with India's Kailash Satyarthi, Malala Yousafzai said, "I feel honored that I am being honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. I am also very honored that I am sharing this award with Kailash Satyarthi."

Speaking about the fact that an Indian and Pakistani had shared the prize, she said, "It gives a message to people of love between Pak and India, and of different religions."

Explaining further, she said, "This is not just a medal but an encouragement, a message that people are standing with me in my fight. I think this is just the beginning, there are so many children who don't receive education.'

The 17-year-old added, "My message to children all around the world that they should stand up for their rights." Malala said that she also called up Kailash Satyarthi and they spoke about how important it is that children get education.

Malala also took the opportunity to speak about the tensions on the Indo-Pak border. "We know that there are tensions on the Indo-Pak border, the tension is disappointing and saddening. I have asked Kailash Satyarthi to request PM Modi to attend Nobel Prize ceremony. Ill request PM Nawaz Sharif the same."
