His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV
Your Highness,
With the utmost respect and sincerity, I extend my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of your birthday.
You are not only a spiritual leader but also an extraordinary historical figure whose tireless efforts have transformed the lives of millions of people around the world. In Tajikistan, during the difficult years of the civil war, your humanitarian aid and strategic support were a lifeline for thousands of our compatriots. The emergency assistance provided by the Aga Khan Foundation to the people of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, who were suffering from a severe food crisis, will forever remain a shining example of humanity in action.
The institutions operating under your leadership continued their invaluable work even after the war, making an unparalleled contribution to the economic, social, and cultural recovery of Tajikistan. The construction of schools, medical facilities, and the provision of clean drinking water to remote villages across the country are outstanding examples of your humanitarian mission.
For the people of Tajikistan, you are not only a spiritual guide but also a monumental historical figure whose role in fostering stability, advancing cultural development, and preserving national identity is immeasurable.
With deep gratitude and respect, I wish you robust health, many years of life, and continued success in your noble mission.
Yours respectfully,
Sharofiddin Gadoev
Chairman of the “Reforms and Development of Tajikistan” Movement
