Joins the Aga Khan in opening new Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat
6 December 2008 Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today met with His Highness, the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims.
“For half a Century the Aga Khan has provided spiritual guidance for Ismailis and worked to improve the quality of life in some of the most vulnerable communities in the world,” said the Prime Minister. “His name has become synonymous with humanitarian aid and development in countries beset by conflict and poverty. Just as importantly he has worked tirelessly as a bridge-builder between faiths and cultures.”
The Prime Minister invited His Highness for a working luncheon at the Prime Minister’s 24 Sussex Drive residence.
