“Since then no information is available about him, the official said, adding that a search mission is being planned. In Seoul, the Foreign Ministry said Pakistan has promised to send a helicopter to find Kim as soon as weather conditions allow the flight. Spokesman Choi Young-sam said China has also agreed to make efforts to locate the climber. South Korean President Moon Jae-in – who had earlier issued a message congratulating Kim on scaling of the world’s 14 highest summits – said that he’ll pray for Kim’s safe return.
