Sun Siyam honored at Global Peace Hospitality Summit 2025

The Global Peace Hospitality Summit 2025, held on October 9 at the Hyatt Regency Dubai, celebrated the launch of the Golden Wing of Peace Movement, a landmark initiative uniting global leaders, institutions, and digital creators in a shared commitment to peace through hospitality.

Among the three Founding Honorary Patrons appointed to lead the movement was Ahmed Siyam Mohamed, Founder and Chairman of Sun Siyam Group, Maldives.

Siyam’s recognition places him alongside Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi (UAE) and Professor Rohan Gunaratna (Singapore), honoring his decades-long dedication to sustainable tourism, youth empowerment, and national development.

As the longest-serving Member of Parliament in the Maldives, Siyam was celebrated for embodying the summit’s core principle: peace must be both practiced and served.

The summit, hosted by the Global Peace Institute UK in collaboration with Impact Hub UAE, marked its Middle East debut after successful editions in London, Scotland, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Over 200 delegates from 46+ countries gathered to explore hospitality as a vehicle for global peace.

A key highlight was the signing of the Golden Wing Peace Treaty by 20 international influencers and content creators, representing a combined audience of over 10 million followers. This symbolic act shifted the narrative of peacebuilding from political corridors to digital platforms, empowering creators to promote empathy, unity, and mental wellbeing online.

The summit featured six high-level panels, including:

• Peace Through Hospitality, Travel & Tourism
• Environment, Energy & Sustainable Peacebuilding
• Women’s Leadership & Business Innovation
• Tech, AI & Digital Impact for Humanity
• Global Health, Wellness & Medical Excellence
• Youth Empowerment & Education for Peacebuilding

These sessions fostered dialogue across policy, business, and social innovation, reinforcing the role of hospitality in advancing peace.

Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi was honored with the Golden Sail of Distinction, the highest accolade of the Global Peace Institute, for his leadership in interfaith dialogue and peace-led governance.
