Greetings! Through this official website you can investigate business opportunities in the sultanate, learn the history of Sultan Esmail Dalus Kiram II, see photographs of Sulu and North Borneo, and contact our offices. You will also find links to organizations related to the Sultanate, or to issues of particular interest to His Royal Highness.

>We will continue to update business opportunities and political essays, and include news and press releases. Official statements by Sultan Esmail Dalus Kiram II may also be read here shortly after he makes them public. Messages from the Ambassador will also be available here.

I therefore call on all the people of the Sultanate to contribute 30 minutes of your day, outside of prayer, in doing something good for your neighbor, your child, or a stranger. Read to them, talk about our great past, visit a historic site, teach them a traditional song or dance, or whatever else you can pass down. Volunteer your services in the preservation of our culture.

By the grace of the Almighty Allah, we shall together bring peace and prosperity to our kingdom.

During the almost 500 years since the founding of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, there have been several intervals of time when disputes arose regarding which man is the legitimate Sultan. These disagreements resulted in damage to the Sultanate, including outbreaks of civil war, weakened administration, and other harms, including poisonings of Sultans or Crown Princes.

Today, many Filipinos and most world citizens are living in a time of confusion regarding the multiple claimants to the Sultanate of Sulu. Who is the legitimate Sultan? One of the purposes of this website is to review the lineage of the Sultanate, and to demonstrate why Esmail Kiram II was crowned in 2001 as the true, legitimate Sultan of Sulu and North Borneo.
