The World Meet is an annual global gathering known for fostering international camaraderie, cultural exchange, and promoting peace through the medium of martial arts, skill development, and recognition of exceptional achievements. Originally founded by the visionary leader, Dr. M.A. Ali, the World Meet has grown from a modest event into an international platform attended by dignitaries, royal family members, and influential figures worldwide. Each year, the event takes place in a different host country, further expanding its global reach and creating lasting connections among diverse cultures.
The first World Meet took place in 2019, with only a few participating countries. Despite its modest beginnings, the event quickly gained attention, showcasing how martial arts could bridge cultures and promote mutual understanding. As the World Meet grew, so did its mission to incorporate various forms of cultural and professional recognition, creating a versatile platform for people from diverse backgrounds to share knowledge, celebrate achievements, and engage in dialogues on important global issues.
In 2022, the 2nd World Meet marked a major milestone, significantly expanding its scope and drawing a larger international audience. By the 3rd World Meet held in 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand, over 32 countries were represented, bringing together a melting pot of participants from various nations. This event notably included prominent figures such as His Majesty Drs. R.H. Sany Waijaya Nataksuma SH and the celebrated martial artist Ayesha Noor, symbolizing the event's continued growth and increased prestige.
The recent 5th World Meet held in Manchester, UK, witnessed remarkable participation and was organized with immense dedication by Shahid Mahmood and other notable committee members. The event featured international awards, special cultural performances, and inspiring speeches, including remarks from Tony Taylor, the World Meet Vice President, who emphasized the gathering’s role in uniting people for peace.
Building on this momentum, the 6th World Meet is scheduled to take place on 28th January 2025 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Set in the luxurious Arion Hotel and helmed by Her Royal Highness Princess Mufida Rayya Mubarok, this event is poised to be one of the largest gatherings in the history of World Meet. Also serving as the Chairperson is His Excellency R.B. Abi Munawir al Madani Mertakusuma, whose expertise and leadership are pivotal to the event's organization.

The event’s ceremonies will include martial arts showcases, a grand awards ceremony, and presentations by international dignitaries.
Throughout its history, the World Meet has become synonymous with the International Awards – a platform that honors exceptional individuals from various fields, acknowledging their contributions and inspiring others to pursue excellence. Past awardees have ranged from martial artists and cultural icons to innovators and peace advocates.
Under the visionary guidance of Dr. M.A. Ali and supported by influential leaders like Tony Taylor and Shahid Mahmood, World Meet continues to expand its impact each year.
