Ladies and Gentlemen,

Two years ago, many of us gathered in Brussels for a similar purpose. And there have been several such gatherings over the past some seventeen years. Commitments have been made, challenges overcome, hopes raised and sometimes dashed.

Regional cooperation and a commitment to pluralism are key to a country’s national development and stability, says Aga Khan
