Imamat Day reception held at Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat 

On 4 July, members of His Highness the Aga Khan’s family welcomed senior leaders of the Portuguese government and other distinguished guests to a reception at the Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat in Lisbon. Many of the attendees have collaborated with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) over several decades.
Guests were treated to a special performance by the Aga Khan Master Musicians (Aga Khan Music Programme), renowned performers and composer-arrangers, in collaboration with the Amara Quartet, an all-female ensemble known for its contemporary renditions of the Portuguese traditional Fado.
The reception marked Imamat Day, the 67th anniversary of His Highness’s ascension to the Ismaili Imamat. In attendance were Prince Amyn Aga Khan, Prince Hussain Aga Khan and his wife Princess Fareen, as well as some of the country’s most senior officials, including former presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers and mayors, alongside members of the diplomatic community, civil society and AKDN leaders.
