In May 2014, upon the invitation of the U.S. State Department, former Comorian President Assoumani Azali visited Chicago. The Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in Chicago and Mrs. Djamila Mounia Hachim hosted a warm welcome reception at the Shapiro-Beighs residence.

President Azali enjoyed meeting various international and local leaders, including Ms. Peggy Parfenoff, President of World Chicago. After being introduced by Honorary Consul General Hachim, President Azali briefly addressed the guests with the assistance of a translator.
