The coronation marked the continuation of a long line of devout Islamic rulers to guide this central Asian desert country. I Sani spends much of his time outside the country, usually in New Zealand, where he maintains a sumptuous summer palace in Christchurch, and he spends much of his time in prayer. The Khan is determined to devote all necessary time and money to improve the rug-weaving industry, Bokhara's main claim to fame on this planet. The Khan is a firm advocate of disarmament, realising the futility of war and the desirability of reaching global peace in a nuclear-free, non-polluting environment. Enhancing the quality of stamp issues (but not becoming a prolific issuer) is another goal of the Khan. Email: [email protected]"
