Chinese medics support historic trek celebrating unity and heritage

Representatives of the local Chinese community and members of the 19th Chinese Medical Team to Lesotho also participated in the event, providing medical support along the route to ensure the safety of hikers.

"The event not only serves as a sporting activity but also helps participants better understand Lesotho's history and culture," said Yin Hao, an employee of Sinohydro Bureau 11 Co.

The experience allows Chinese companies operating in the country to integrate more closely into local communities and contribute to local development, Yin added.

"While providing medical support, we are also sharing friendship and strengthening the bond between the people of China and Lesotho," said Wu Hui, head of the 19th Chinese Medical Team to Lesotho.

Motlatsi Maqelepo, Lesotho's minister of tourism, sports, arts, and culture, welcomed participants from different countries to the event and highlighted its significance for cultural exchange.

"It means a lot for bilateral relations between Lesotho and China," Maqelepo said.
