During the World Alliance’s Annual General Meeting in Busan, members elected four new representatives to the World Alliance Board of Directors, further strengthening the organization’s global leadership and geographic representation.
The newly elected Board members are:

- Alhussain Al Qalhati, Associate Director at International Financial Centre Oman
- Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater, CEO of Qatar Financial Centre
- Bakhtiyar Tleubekov, representing Astana International Financial Centre
Their election reflects the continued growth and global reach of the World Alliance. Through its members, the Alliance is represented across the world by ambitious financial centers united by a common objective: to strengthen international cooperation, exchange expertise, and develop concrete initiatives that help shape the future of finance.
World Alliance members work together on a growing portfolio of international projects addressing some of the most important transformations facing the financial industry today. These include artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, the economic and societal impact of international financial centers, sustainable finance, talent development, and the evolving role of financial centers in fostering innovation and economic growth.
The addition of these four Board members brings new perspectives, expertise, and regional insights to this collective effort and further strengthens the World Alliance’s ability to connect financial centers across continents.
We warmly congratulate Ahmet İhsan Erdem, Alhussain Al Qalhati, Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater, and Bakhtiyar Tleubekov on their election and look forward to their contributions to the next chapter of the World Alliance’s global collaboration.
