24-5-2019
After two months of risky adventure, Lebanese mountain climber, Joyce Azzam, realized her 7 summit dream when she reached the top of the world’s tallest Mount Everest peak and planted her country’s flag on 8848 m. Azzam boasted that she has waited six years for this dream to materialise. “I endured difficult moments, but most importantly I succeeded in overcoming the challenges and difficulties,” she said. Recalling, that Azzam has completed her 6th dream of the challenge after climbing Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica (4897m). In his comments, prime minister Saad Hariri, tweeted, “Mabrouk to Joyce Azzam who became the first Lebanese woman to complete the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Mabrouk also to the accompanying Lebanese team who promoted Lebanon’s image in the world in this achievement which highlights the leading role of the Lebanese woman at all levels.” (An Nahar, Al Mustaqbal, May 24, 2019)
