His Highness the Aga Khan today concludes his first official visit to Germany since becoming the 50th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims, and Chair of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in February 2025. The visit served to consolidate and strengthen a long-standing relationship between the Ismaili Imamat and the Federal Republic of Germany. His Highness, who was accompanied by his brother Prince Aly Muhammad Aga Khan, met with Germany’s President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Johann Wadephul, and the Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Reem Alabali-Radovan. During the visit, an MOU was also signed between the Egyptian Museum Berlin and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture as a framework to cooperate on projects of common interest. Together, they will rehabilitate the Qubbet al-Hawa or Dome of the Wind in Aswan, Egypt, the resting place of ancient nobles and priests that forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
