Activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai on Wednesday said she was grateful for Qatar's role in evacuating people from Afghanistan, prompting a response from Qatar's Assistant Foreign Minister HE Lolwah bint Rashid Al Khater.
“Grateful to see the government of Qatar helping so many people – students, women's rights advocates, journalists and more – safely evacuate Afghanistan. I hope more countries will accelerate their efforts and support #AfghanRefugees," Yousafzai, who is a victim of an assassination attempt by Taliban militants in 2012 in Pakistan, tweeted on Wednesday.
In response, HE Lolwah bint Rashin Al Khater tweeted: "Thank you dear @Malala, I was happy when we spoke to plan how we can help our bothers & sisters in #Afghanistan, even happier when they arrived in Qatar and I was deeply grateful to meet them this afternoon. They all said hello and spoke very highly of you.”
