Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday congratulated mountaineers Naila Kiyani and Sameena Baig for scaling the world’s ninth highest peak of Nanga Parbat.
The prime minister, in a statement, said besides summiting the world’s highest peak of Mount Everest, both Nailia Kiyani and Sameena Baig were the first Pakistani women to scale the most dangerous peak of Nanga Parbat and brought fame to country.
The two mountaineers were representatives of those brave women of Pakistan who were second to none in their pursuit of tenacity, ambitions and objectives as they had proved that their mettle, determination and intentions were “higher than the highest mountains”, PM Shehbaz added.
Praying for their more successes in future, he said the daughters of the nation like Sameena Baig, Naila Kiyani and others should continue to project Pakistan’s bright image across the globe.

Parbat Peak. He said, “I offer my wholehearted congratulations to Naila Kiyani and
Samina Baig for their historic achievement”. He said that it was a proud moment for the entire nation when the Pakistani mountaineers scaled up one of the top peaks of the world.
The PPP chairman said that the commitment and determination of Pakistani women were above the tall peaks of the world. He said that it was the dream of Shaheed Mohtrama Benazir Bhutto to see Pakistani women at the front lines of every field.—APP
