In a Canadian first, Apple CEO Tim Cook sits down with CTV’s Your Morning for an exclusive interview to discuss his company’s new partnership with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai.

The interview is slated to air on Tuesday morning.

Cook, who is visiting Canada for the first time, arrived unannounced in Toronto on Monday. The tech CEO stopped in at the Apple Store in Toronto’s CF Eaton Centre, where students from Charles Gordon Senior Public School in Scarborough were taking part in a coding class.

Cook and Apple just announced a major partnership with the Malala Fund to support girls’ education.

The Apple CEO discusses how that partnership came together in his chat with Your Morning’s Ben Mulroney.

Cook says it ultimately came down to “serendipity,” because he just happened to be visiting Oxford University for another purpose.

“I knew that it was her first term there and I reached out to her and asked if she’d take a meeting,” he said.

Cook says the two found common ground quickly, and moved from discussing possibilities to working out the terms of how they would partner up.

“It’s one of those rare points in time when you begin to talk to somebody, you know instantly you’re kindred spirits in something that’s really really important,” he said.

The Malala Fund aims to raise money to educate 130 million girls around the world who are not in school.
