I would like to offer my deepest congratulations to Ms. Malala Yousafzai and Mr. Kailash Satyarthi on winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Despite receiving death threats, Ms. Yousafzai has continued to champion the rights of women to receive an education, filling people around the world with a sense of courage.
By dedicating his life to rescuing thousands of children from forced labor, Mr. Satyarthi has served as a beacon of hope for people around the world.
Ms. Yousafzai and Mr. Satyarthi have given people around the globe the strength to live and I am certain that they have made the world a better place for tomorrow. I would like to wish them continued success in their future endeavors.
