Malala will be staying in Pakistan for four days, sources said. She would be reaching Islamabad from Dubai via foreign flight no. EK-614.
She will hold meetings with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and other important figures.
In October 2012, Malala — then fifteen-years-old — was shot in the head at point blank range by Taliban gunmen as she was returning from her school in Swat valley. She suffered bullet injuries and was admitted to the Military Hospital Peshawar and then taken to London for further treatment.
The shooting drew widespread international condemnation.
She has become an internationally recognized symbol of resistance to the Taliban's efforts of denying women education and other rights and was later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her activism.
