Reflection on the Diamond Jubilee Celebration in Lisbon, Portugal. Gulabuddin Sukhanwar I boarded an early morning flight Saturday 13 th July from Lisbon to Oslo. As soon as the aircraft departed, a young child beside me got my attention while speaking in Norwegian to his mother. Mamma hvorfor reiser vi tilbake? Det var hyggelig å være her, mye sol og… Mamma, why are we travelling back? It was nice to be here with more sun and …, I looked at the little boy and told his mum that he was quite right because Portugal also offered me an amazing experience and everlasting memories. I spent the last week of my summer holiday in Lisbon and had the privilege to join my fellow Ismailis from around the world to celebrate the sixty years of leadership from our Imam, spiritual leader, His Highness the Aga Khan: the Diamond Jubilee. The celebration took place in Parque das Nações, Portugal , where a warm welcome was offered to 45,000 Ismailis for such a historic occasion.
