Category: Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat

Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat, Lisbon, Portugal. April 21, 2024: (L to R) His Excellency, the Honourable Ralph Goodale; Prince Rahim; Mahmoud Eboo. Earlier, on behalf of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, Prince Rahim received Mr Goodale’s credentials as the Representative of Canada to the Ismaili Imamat. This was the first formal presentation of diplomatic credentials to take place at the Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat in Lisbon. Mr Goodale is the third appointee by Canada since the signing in 2014 of a Protocol of Understanding between the Government of Canada and the Ismaili Imamat. The Protocol enables reciprocal appointments of diplomatic representatives. Mr. Goodale succeeds Marc-André Blanchard, Canada’s then Ambassador to the United Nations in New York, and Gordon Campbell, Canada’s then High Commissioner in the United Kingdom. Mahmoud Eboo, is the Representative of the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat to Canada. Image credit: AKDN / Fernando Costa
