Malala wrote that she wished the leaders of both countries should sit down and solve this matter through dialogue
“I ask the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi to show true leadership in this difficult time: to sit down, shake hands and settle the long-standing issue of Kashmir through dialogue.” Malala ended her message by stating that the real enemies are poverty, terrorism, illiteracy and health crises, not each other.
