D. Américo Aguiar, President of the WYD Lisbon 2023 Foundation, took the opportunity to thank the Ismaili Community for all the support in the construction of WYD Lisbon 2023, since the first moment. He also recalled that WYD Lisbon 2023 is open to all.
Just as Pope Francis wants in fraternity: we know what is different, we appreciate difference and we see difference as a richness.
The President of the National Council of the Ismaili Muslim Community, Rahim Firozali, praised the readiness and openness on the part of the WYD Lisbon 2023 Foundation, letting them collaborate with the preparation of participation in the Day. "They can count on the community to help," he reinforced.
Gratitude for being able to contribute to the success of the day. We are proud to be part of this historic gathering.
