Today, @BBhuttoZardari and his team witnessed firsthand the impacts of glacier melt on the road to Shigar. Such experiences should inspire all political leaders to take stronger action for climate resilience in Pakistan’s mountain communities. #ClimateChange#GilgitBaltistan
The mountains of Gilgit Baltistan shape more than the rivers.🌊
They shape lives.🌱
They shape how people access justice.⚖️
But through UNDP’s #FundingWindows, supported by @Denmark_UN🇩🇰, @LuxembourgUN🇱🇺, and @ROK_Mission🇰🇷, a new story of justice in the mountains is unfolding. Stay tuned.
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

Yesterday, His Highness the Aga Khan began his first official visit to Canada, marking a milestone in a relationship between the Imamat and Canada that spans more than five decades. His Highness met with Prime Minister Mark Carney and was hosted at dinner by Governor General Mary Simon and His Excellency Whit Fraser. His Highness also met today with Senators and Members of Parliament at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat.
Prime Minister Carney and His Highness released a joint declaration outlining new partnerships in housing, economic development and other areas of mutual interest, setting the stage for renewed collaboration.
During substantive discussions with Prime Minister Carney, three priority areas were advanced.
First, affordable housing. Prime Minister Carney welcomed investments by the Ismaili Imamat in multi-generational not-for-profit housing projects across Canada. Through Build Canada Homes, the Government of Canada will also forge a long-term partnership with the Ismaili Imamat to develop low- and middle-income housing projects.
Second, development collaboration. The leaders announced the creation of an Economic Partnership Platform to strengthen development financing. FinDev Canada and the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development will pool public and private capital to invest in infrastructure, renewable energy and agriculture across Africa and Asia. Prime Minister Carney and His Highness also committed to ongoing joint development programming in economic opportunity, health, education and pluralism, including in critical regions such as Syria. Opportunities were identified in skills development, energy, and leveraging Canadian innovations and technology in sectors such as agriculture and climate.
Third, principled global diplomacy. Recognising the urgent need for quiet, principled diplomacy to save lives, end conflict, and preserve human dignity, the Imamat and Canada renewed their commitment to work together towards these goals.
His Highness underscored the importance of new forms of partnership and reaffirmed the readiness of the Imamat, AKDN, and the Canadian Ismaili community and its institutions to serve as reliable partners.

Gilgit Police’s late-night arrest of senior lawyer and Chairman Awami Action Committee, Ahsan Ali Advocate, is surprising and concerning. The government should investigate the matter and order his immediate release.

The King hosted a private dinner for His Highness the Aga Khan at Windsor Castle last night, to mark the first anniversary of His Highness’s Accession.
#Pakistan: The conviction & sentencing of Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir & Hadi Ali Chatha under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), following fair trial concerns, is deeply disturbing. This case highlights the danger of this law being used to suppress dissent. We urge the Government to protect & uphold freedom of expression & the right to peaceful assembly in line with Pakistan’s int’l human rights obligations.
