May I first thank you, Mr. President, for the very great honour you have paid to the Ismaili community, to my wife and to myself in joining us here today to lay the Foundation Stone of the Aga Khan Hospital and Medical College. I am most grateful for the generosity of your tributes and for your personal kindness and hospitality.
