ISLAMABAD: Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai will be visiting Pakistan over the weekend to attend the international conference on girls’ education in Muslim communities.

Malala will be one of the keynote speakers at the two-day conference scheduled for January 11-12 here. This will be Malala’s only third visit since she was flown to Britain for life-saving treatment in October 2012. Malala was just 15 years old when the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) shot her in the head over her campaign for girls’ education.

PM Shehbaz Sharif will inaugurate the event and deliver the keynote address.
