India and Pakistan will be proud nations on Wednesday, when child rights activist Kailash Satyarti and Taliban-attacked teen Malala Yousafzai are jointly confereed with this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
According to media reports, both Satyarthi and Malala have arrived in Norwegian capital Oslo to recive the coveted prize from the hands of King Harald V. in the presence of an invited distinguished gathering.
Malala will be the star of the annual Nobels extravaganza that also features Frenchman Patrick Modiano with the literature prize and his compatriot Jean Tirole with the economics award.
Malala has reportedly arrived in Oslo with five other teenage activists from Pakistan, Syria and Nigeria, including Shazia Ramzan, 16, and Kainat Riaz, 17, also shot during the Taliban attack on Malala, and 17-year-old Amina Yusuf, a girls' education activist from northern Nigeria where the terror group Boko Haram abducted more than 200 schoolgirls during a raid in April 2014.
