President Ishaq Khan praised Mowlana Hazar Imam for his vision and enlightened leadership: 'His love for Pakistan and a life-long commitment to improving the quality of life of people have been the driving force behind numerous institutions and projects launched by him from the mountains of Gilgit to the mangrove forests of Karachi. He has most deservedly earned the gratitude of the entire Nation. On behalf of the Government and the people of Pakistan, I would like to convey His Highness our feelings of deep indebtedness and gratefulness for which words seem so inadequate.'
