The Embassy of Lebanon in China is proud to announce a historic milestone — for the first time ever, a Lebanese national will take part in the world-renowned Great Wall Marathon, one of the most iconic and challenging races on earth.
Major Pilot Mohamad Baltaji from the Lebanese Armed Forces will represent Lebanon at this prestigious international sporting event on October 26, 2025. His participation, with the support and under the Patronage of the Embassy of Lebanon in China, stands as a powerful symbol of Lebanese resilience, determination, and friendship.
This moment marks more than a sporting achievement — it celebrates the growing people-to-people and cultural exchange between Lebanon and China. Through such initiatives, we aim to strengthen mutual understanding and foster enduring bonds between our nations.
The Embassy takes immense pride in Major Baltaji’s participation, as he carries the Lebanese flag across the Great Wall — a true testament to the spirit of cooperation and shared values between the Lebanese and Chinese peoples.
We extend our warmest wishes to Major Baltaji for a successful race and express our appreciation to the Great Wall Marathon organizers for promoting friendship among nations through sports and cultural exchange.
