On their arrival at the Alpine Club of Pakistan (ACP), Karrar Haidri, Vice President ACP, welcomed the team, congratulated them on their summit, and discussed opportunities for future collaboration.
The climbers shared that it was a wonderful experience to climb peaks in the Karakoram and praised Pakistan’s unique mountain landscapes.

On behalf of President ACP, Irfan Arshad Khan, a commemorative shield was presented to the Japanese team as a token of appreciation for their successful expedition and visit to Pakistan.
