Greta Thunberg meets Malala at Oxford University

Greta Thunberg has met Malala Yousafzai during a visit to Oxford University.

The climate change campaigner, 17, made the trip to Lady Margaret Hall where she met the human rights campaigner, 22, on Tuesday.

Ms Thunberg recently joined a school strike in Bristol. Ms Yousafzai is studying politics, philosophy, and economics at the university.

Pakistani Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai shared a picture on Instagram in which she can be seen sitting on a bench with climate change activist Greta Thunberg, saying simply: “Thank you @gretathunberg”.

“She’s the only friend I’d skip school for,” she added on Twitter.
