Urdu World Canada (Web News) Pakistan’s Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has announced the appointment of Qatari Princess Sheikha Asma Al Thani as the brand ambassador of Pakistan’s mountains and tourism. The aim is to highlight the natural beauty of Pakistan, especially the northern regions and high mountains, to the world. The Prime Minister made this announcement in a message on the social media platform “X” (formerly Twitter). Shehbaz Sharif said that he is happy to announce that Sheikha Asma Al Thani has been appointed as the representative of Pakistan’s tourism and mountains.
Sheikha Asma Al Thani’s mountaineering history
Sheikha Asma Al Thani recently made history by summiting Nanga Parbat. She became the first Qatari woman to raise the Qatari flag on the summit. This was her ninth time summiting a mountain over 8,000 meters. In a social media post, she wrote that Nanga Parbat was an extremely difficult and dangerous expedition that proved to be physically and mentally challenging for her. She said: “This mountain was a test for me that I did not expect. The snow under my feet and the falling rocks at every moment reminded me of how fragile life is. But even in this danger, I found a new strength, humility and opportunity to know myself.”
Solidarity with Palestine
Sheikha Asma Al Thani also expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people during her campaign. She wore a Palestinian flag on her clothing during her campaign. In another post after summiting Nanga Parbat, she shared a poem by renowned Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, writing: “This is for those who are still standing today, for the lives that have been lost, for the voices that have been silenced, and for the fear that is attached to tomorrow.”
“May freedom find its way and justice be no longer delayed.”
Congratulations on summiting Nanga Parbat.
The Prime Minister also congratulated the Qatari princess on scaling a high and difficult peak like Nanga Parbat. Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest peak in the world and the second highest in Pakistan, with a height of 8126 meters. The Prime Minister described the feat as “imitating and inspiring.” He said that this achievement is not only a symbol of courage, perseverance and determination, but also a strong reflection of the friendly relations established between Pakistan and Qatar.
New dimension in Pakistan-Qatar relations
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s appointment of Sheikha Asma as Pakistan’s Tourism Ambassador is not only a positive diplomatic move but also a serious effort to showcase Pakistan’s beautiful northern regions to the world. This move is expected to take Pakistan’s tourism, especially adventure, mountaineering and hill tourism, to new heights.
