Oslo, Dec 10: In what can be described as a 'big moment for Asia' today, India's Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan's Malala Yousufzai will receive the Nobel Peace prize in an official ceremony here today.

Both Malala and Satyarthi have been fighting against the oppression of children and their right to education. [India-Pak proud moment: Kailash Satyarthi, Malala Yousafzai conferred the Nobel Peace Prize]

Both Malala and Satyarthi were announced as the Nobel Peace prize winners on Oct 10 following which Malala invited both Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the official ceremony.

However in a press conference a day earlier, Malala said that she had not received any confirmation from the Pak PM.

Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, his sons Amaan and Ayaan Ali Khan along with Pakistani qawwali maestro Rahat Fateh Ali Khan will be performing at the ceremony along with a host of other artists.
