Houston, USA, 18 March 2018 – Texas Governor Greg Abbott today lauded the longstanding partnership and friendship with His Highness the Aga Khan, 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, and the Ismaili Muslim Community in Texas.
The Governor spoke at a luncheon hosted in honour of the Aga Khan’s Diamond Jubilee, drawing upon examples of the Aga Khan’s exemplary leadership and accomplishments in improving healthcare and education and the quality of life for people in developing countries. He commended the strong spirit of volunteerism within the Ismaili Community, referencing the recent Points of Light Award where the Community was recognised in the presence of all five living former U.S. presidents for its relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
“We have a state motto – and that motto is friendship. This is a friendship that has lasted many years and that we expect will continue many years into the future,” Governor Abbott remarked.
