In Singapore, the Ismaili Council for the Far East and the Asian Civilisations Museum partnered to organise an event on 27 October that raised awareness about the local Ismaili community as well as the work of the Aga Khan Development Network and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. Inayat Bana, then President of the Ismaili Council for the Far East, introduced the community and the Ismaili Imamat, and highlighted the work of the various institutions of the AKDN and the global reach of its projects.
“It was the first time that the Ismaili community came together in a public setting and showcased our origins and the ethical underpinnings of our faith,” said President Bana. “It is my hope that more of such collaborative initiatives with various government agencies are conducted in the years ahead.”
