WASHINGTON: Dr. Zenab Mansoor, a Pakistan-origin pediatric physician currently residing in Seattle Washington, made Pakistan proud by scaling the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest recently.
Summiting the highest mountain of the world symbolizes human determination, perseverance and the spirit of exploration, said Pakistan’s Ambassador Masood Khan while talking to Dr Zenab here.
Dr. Zenab is among the trailblazing women of Pakistan, the third Pakistani woman, to summit the iconic mountain. Earlier Ms. Samina Baig and Ms. Naila Kiani had scaled the highest summit of the world.
Sharing her story of rigorous training and steady resolve to ascend Mount Everest, Dr. Zenab said that she had been preparing herself for five years, and before that from her childhood, to realize that dream.
She said she had scaled five out of seven highest peaks on all the seven continents including Kilimanjaro in Africa, Elbrus in Europe, Denali in North America, Vinson in Antarctica and now Everest in Asia.
“I felt proud raising the flag of Pakistan on top of Mount Everest,” she said while sharing her joyous accomplishment with the Ambassador.
Felicitating her on the feat, Ambassador Masood Khan congratulated her on her spectacular achievement and said that she has made the country proud with her accomplishment.
“Your achievement showed the immense potential of Pakistani women. This makes Pakistan proud and sets a high bar for future generations, especially girls, to dream without limits,” he said.
