Mountaineer Samina Baig has become first Pakistani woman to successfully climb the world's second highest peak K2.  

Samina Baig and her Pakistani team successfully summited the savage peak of K2 at 7:42 am today.

In 2013, Samina Baig became the first Pakistani woman to summit Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has felicitated Pakistani woman mountaineer Samina Baig for climbing the world's second highest peak K2.

In a tweet on Friday, he said Samina Baig has emerged as a symbol of determination, courage and bravery of Pakistani women.

The Prime Minister said Samina Baig has proved that Pakistani women are not behind men in this game of mountain climbing. He hoped that Samina Baig will continue to wave the flag of Pakistan all over the world with the same spirit. 

دنیا کی دوسری بلند ترین چوٹی 'کے 2' سر کرنے والی پہلی پاکستانی خاتون کوہ پیما ثمینہ بیگ اور ان کے اہل خانہ کو کامیابی پر مبارک پیش کرتا ہوں۔ ثمینہ بیگ پاکستانی خواتین کے عزم و ہمت اور بہادری کی علامت بن کر ابھری ہیں۔
