Message from His Highness the Aga Khan

As I complete the first year of my Imamat, I have been deeply touched by the warm messages of congratulations received from around the world.

I convey my heartfelt thanks to the numerous world leaders and partners of the Ismaili Imamat and our institutions who have welcomed me during the past year. Their enduring friendship is a source of happiness and pride.

My visits to the Ismaili community around the world have brought me great joy, and I look forward to continuing to meet my community this year. I am immensely grateful to the thousands of volunteers who have made these visits possible, and to the national and local governments who have facilitated them.

The Aga Khan Development Network is one of the greatest legacies of my late father, and I am proud to lead this organisation. I convey my deep gratitude to the staff and volunteers of all our institutions for their hard work to improve the lives of millions around the world.

On this Imamat Day, I send my best wishes to the Ismaili community, and to all our partners, supporters, volunteers, and staff, with my prayers for peace, happiness, and prosperity across our world.

Aga Khan
