Malala Yousafzai: "If I can serve my country
best through politics and through becoming
a prime minister, then I would definitely
choose that"
She said that she may even aspire to be prime
minister of Pakistan once she has completed
her studies in the UK.
Ms Yousafzai has been jointly awarded the
prize with Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian child
rights campaigner.
Ms Yousafzai was shot in the head by Taliban
gunmen in October 2012 for campaigning for
girls' education.
She is the youngest ever recipient of the
prize.
Inspiration
"I want to serve my country and my dream is
that my country becomes a developed country
and I see every child get an education,"
She said that she had been inspired by Benazir
Bhutto - a woman who twice served as Pakistani
prime minister before her murder in 2007.
"If I can serve my country best through politics
and through becoming a prime minister then
I would definitely choose that," Ms Yousafzai
said.
The teenager said it was a great honour to
win the prize alongside Kailash Satyarthi.
"I had this wish from the beginning to see
children going to school and I started this
campaign," she said.
