During his visit, Mr. Sukkar received a warm reception from Dr. Gulzar Malik, President of the National Council, and Vice President Shamshuddin Pabani. The ensuing dialogue focused on the work of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), under the guidance of Mawlana Hazar Imam. The discussion highlighted the network's commitment to fostering pluralism, supporting self-reliance in vulnerable communities, and their continuous efforts towards global improvement.

A key aspect of Mr. Sukkar's visit was exploring the role of Ismaili volunteers under Ismaili CIVIC, a global volunteering programme that unites the Jamat’s service all over the world under one banner. This segment underscored the community's ethos of making a positive difference in society. Mr. Sukkar expressed his deep appreciation for the volunteers' active involvement in civil society, which stood out as a testament to the community's dedication.

The visit also shed light on the Ismaili community's educational initiatives, particularly the innovative curriculum developed by the Institute of Ismaili Studies. Delivered by professional STEP (Secondary Teacher Education Program) teachers, this curriculum aims to cultivate a deep understanding of civilisational values among the youth, preparing them to be informed future leaders.

Mr. Sukkar commended the Ismaili community's initiatives, aligning with core values of service, knowledge, and community betterment. His presence at Vermont Jamatkhana not only signified the Ismaili community's active role in the Australian social fabric but also echoed our shared values of unity, service, and knowledge pursuit – all pivotal for societal advancement.

The event provided the opportunity for dialogue on matters of mutual interest and opportunities for continued engagement in the future.
