Afghan-Australian journalist Yalda Hakim has won the “Presenter of the Year” award from the Royal Television Society.
The Sky News network announced on Thursday that Hakim was unable to attend the award ceremony because she is currently reporting from the Middle East.
Over the past year, Hakim has conducted interviews with several prominent global leaders and senior officials as part of her international reporting.
One of her most widely discussed interviews was with Khawaja Asif, during which she questioned him about Pakistan’s alleged role in financing and training terrorist groups.
During that interview, Asif acknowledged that Pakistan had carried out “dirty work” for the United States for three decades, a remark that drew widespread attention.
Hakim, born in Afghanistan and raised in Australia, joined Sky News in 2013 and has since become one of the network’s leading international presenters.
The Royal Television Society awards are among the most prestigious honors in the British television industry, recognizing excellence in journalism and broadcasting.
Hakim’s award highlights the growing presence of Afghan journalists in international media and underscores her role as a prominent voice covering global affairs.
