Last Sunday (18), at a lunch hosted in honour in Houston, Texas governor Greg Abbott paid tribute to the Aga Khan’s leadership and the achievements of his organisation in improving healthcare and education for people in developing countries.
“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,” the governor said.
The Aga Khan said: “Civil society is a key resource for development. Everything we do together to invest and enhance the capacity of civil society is a blessing that you give to the populations in those countries.”
