Earlier in the day the Aga Khan and Premier Wynne signed an agreement between the Province of Ontario and the Ismaili Imamat that set a blueprint for cooperation in a number of areas including culture and education.
In his remarks to the press after the signing ceremony, the Aga Khan highlighted the intellectual interpretation of Ismailism and, in particular, the "need to invest in global values, in values which can be applied to any society, at any time in any part of the world," underscoring, for him, the importance to build society upon timeless, universal values.
