Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday told Malala Yousafzai, Pakistan’s Nobel Peace Prize laureate who survived a Taliban attack, that his Government has a “strong resolve to eliminate terrorism” to fulfill her dream of better education for all.
Sharif met the 17-year-old child rights activist at Oslo where he is on a three-day visit and assured her that his government is determined to improve quality of education and ensure gender equality.
“Significant steps have been taken for the promotion of rights of women, children and minorities,” he said, adding that the Government is committed to increase education spending up to four per cent of GDP.
Sharif appreciated Malala’s personal interest for the cause of promotion of education, that had invited the wrath of the Taliban.
