Home: Welcome THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO LEAD IT Join The GCBL Today! "The Global Chamber of Business Leaders unites extraordinary individuals - visionaries who don’t just see the future but actively shape it. They believe in the unwavering power of collaboration and co-creation, knowing that these are the only true paths to lasting peace and human progress." Home: Quote GLOBAL COALITION FOR COOPERATION AND PEACE (GCCP) Only United we can Stand for Peace. Cooperation - Trust - Peace. Act Now. In a time of rising global uncertainty and division, responsible leadership must step forward. Peace is not the absence of conflict - it is the triumph of cooperation over division and vision over fear. The Global Coalition for Cooperation and Peace, under the umbrella of the Global Chamber of Business Leaders, calls on companies, investors, and leaders worldwide to unite in strengthening stability, dialogue, and responsible global progress. Prosperity without peace cannot endure. When politics divides, responsible business must unite the world. Discover More THE VALUES OF THE GLOBAL CHAMBER OF BUSINESS LEADERS At the heart of the Global Chamber of Business Leaders (GCBL) lies a profound conviction: that commerce is not merely an exchange of goods, but an exchange of conscience. We believe that economic power carries a moral responsibility - to build, to unite, and to preserve. Our values are not written in slogans but embodied in action. They represent the ethical architecture of our global mission and define how we engage with governments, corporations, and individuals around the world. 🌍 Integrity as the Core of Leadership We believe that leadership without integrity is power without direction. Every GCBL initiative, partnership, and dialogue begins with honesty, transparency, and accountability. We build trust - not through words, but through consistency of principle. 🌍 Cooperation Beyond Borders True progress knows no nationality. GCBL was founded on the principle that cooperation is the highest form of intelligence. By connecting visionaries, governments, and industries worldwide, we transcend political, cultural, and ideological barriers to create shared prosperity. 🌍 Peace Through Economic Interdependence We hold that sustainable peace is born not in treaties, but in trust - and trust is built through trade, collaboration, and mutual respect. GCBL promotes economic diplomacy as a path toward stability, understanding, and global coexistence. 🌍 Responsibility to Future Generations Every decision we make today must honor the generations that will follow. GCBL advocates for responsible business, ethical innovation, and sustainability as the new currency of progress - where growth is measured not only by profit, but by purpose. 🌍 Humanity as the Measure of Success Our chamber is not a network of corporations - it is a community of conscience. We measure success not by numbers, but by the positive impact we create: opportunities generated, lives improved, and peace advanced. 🌍 Dialogue Over Division n an era of polarization, GCBL stands as a neutral platform for understanding. We believe that conversation can bridge what conflict divides, and that empathy is the most powerful instrument of diplomacy. 🌍 Excellence with Humility We champion excellence - but without arrogance. Our leaders strive for greatness grounded in service, vision anchored in ethics, and ambition guided by wisdom. In essence, the values of GCBL reflect a single universal truth: that the purpose of leadership is not dominance, but stewardship - not to rule the world, but to repair it.

Dejan Štancer, President. PRESIDENT'S WELCOME Dear Esteemed Leaders, It is the greatest honor to serve as President of the Global Chamber of Business Leaders, an organization that has become a beacon of ethical leadership, cooperation, and responsible progress in a world marked by turbulence and transition. GCBL is not only a network of business excellence - it is a movement that builds bridges across nations, empowers enterprises, and creates sustainable pathways for peace and prosperity. Through our Global Coalition for Cooperation and Peace (GCCP), we reaffirm that true leadership is not only about profit, but about responsibility - about shaping a world where business, ethics, and peace are inseparably linked. As a recognized advisory body to the United Nations, we carry both privilege and responsibility: to give voice to business leaders who believe in cooperation over conflict, in opportunity over division, and in shared progress over narrow self-interest. We live in uncertain times, but uncertainty is the birthplace of innovation and courage. Alone we may advance, but only together can we transform. Let us stand united as visionaries of a new global order - where business becomes the language of peace, and leadership the foundation of a better tomorrow.

Editorial Theme THE NEW DIPLOMACY - STRATEGIC PEACE The institutions remain. The treaties remain. The summits continue. Yet the world beneath them has changed. Power is increasingly exercised through military strength, trade, technology, capital and strategic dependence. The international order has not disappeared. It has become conditional. Global military expenditure reached $2.887 trillion in 2025, the highest level ever recorded by SIPRI, marking an eleventh consecutive annual increase. Meanwhile, the WTO estimates that a fully geo-fragmented trading system could reduce global GDP by 5.1% and global exports by 18.6%. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Cover Story ANTÓNIO GUTERRES - WHEN THE WORLD STOPS TALKING António Guterres represents the enduring relevance of multilateral diplomacy in an increasingly divided world. As UN Secretary-General, his role has centred on preserving dialogue, cooperation and institutional space at a time when geopolitical consensus is becoming harder to achieve. António Guterres has served as the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations since 1 January 2017; his second term runs through 31 December 2026. In September 2026, he described the world as being in an “era of deep uncertainty”, identifying war and peace, inequality, climate change and artificial intelligence as defining tests of global power and cooperation. On the International Day of Peace 2026, Guterres argued that peace is not passive or automatic, but an active and deliberate choice, requiring investment in diplomacy, dialogue, negotiation and peacekeeping. As his mandate approaches its end, the UN has already begun the formal process of selecting his successor, making his final year a natural moment to examine the future of multilateral leadership itself. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Strategic Dependence THE WEAPONISATION OF EVERYTHING For decades, interdependence was treated as a stabilizing force. Trade connected economies. Technology crossed borders. Energy moved through global markets. Supply chains rewarded efficiency. Today, many of those same connections are being reinterpreted as vulnerabilities. The infrastructure of globalization has not disappeared. It is being turned into leverage. The World Trade Organization describes the global trading system in 2026 as facing its most serious and sustained disruption since its creation eight decades ago. Yet around 72 percent of world merchandise trade still takes place under core WTO mostfavoured-nation terms. In other words, fragmentation is accelerating, but interdependence remains enormous. The IMF likewise notes that supply chains are increasingly being redesigned around resilience rather than pure efficiency, while higher trade barriers, geopolitical tensions and disruptions in energy markets are reshaping investment decisions. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Systemic Distrust WHEN TRUST DISAPPEARS The deepest fracture in the international system may not be military, economic or ideological. It is psychological. Governments increasingly plan not around what their partners promise, but around what they might do if relations deteriorate. Once distrust becomes structural, even rational defensive decisions can make everyone less secure . According to the OECD, only 39% of respondents across 30 surveyed countries expressed trust in their national governments, while 44% reported low or no trust. The 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals an even deeper fracture: 70% of respondents worldwide are unwilling or hesitant to trust people with different values, beliefs or backgrounds. Distrust is no longer confined to institutions. It is increasingly shaping how societies perceive differences, relationships and cooperation. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Strategic Autonomy THE POWER OF NOT CHOOSING The old world rewarded loyalty to blocs. The emerging one increasingly rewards room to manoeuvre. From India and Türkiye to the Gulf, states are building relationships across competing centres of power rather than allowing a single alliance to define every part of their foreign policy. This is not neutrality. It is strategic autonomy — and in a fragmented world, optionality is becoming power. Multi-alignment is replacing non-alignment. Contemporary research increasingly describes Türkiye's strategy as polyalignment: maintaining close relationships with competing powers in pursuit of greater strategic autonomy. India faces a similar challenge as it simultaneously manages relations with the United States, Russia, Iran, Israel and Gulf states. Qatar offers another model. Its government explicitly defines preserving relationships during deep disagreement — rather than choosing between them — as central to its mediation strategy. That approach has again become visible in 2026 through Qatari shuttle diplomacy between Washington and Tehran. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Strategic Balance RECEP TAYYIP ERDOĞAN - IN DIVIDED WORLDS Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has positioned Türkiye as a power determined to preserve room for manoeuvre between competing geopolitical centres. A NATO ally with active ties to Russia, the Gulf, Central Asia and the wider Global South, Türkiye under Erdoğan has pursued a foreign policy built less on fixed alignment than on strategic flexibility. Türkiye hosted the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, reinforcing its central role inside the alliance while NATO leaders reaffirmed collective defence and expanded support for Ukraine. At the same time, Erdoğan said Türkiye would consider deeper involvement, potentially even full membership, in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, while insisting that this should not be interpreted as a move away from NATO or Western ties. Ankara has also continued efforts to revive negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and has maintained working relations with both Moscow and Kyiv since the beginning of the full-scale war.

The model is not based on scale alone, but on becoming strategically relevant to multiple partners at once. During Mohamed bin Zayed’s September 2026 state visit to Germany, the UAE announced a €40 billion investment package, including advanced digital infrastructure and data centres, while UAE and German companies signed 29 agreements worth more than €9.3 billion. UAE–India trade reached approximately $101.25 billion in FY 2025–26, with both countries setting a target of $200 billion by 2032. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Human Purpose ANTONY GORDON - THE MEANING CRISIS Antony Gordon is focused on a question that sits beneath many of today’s cultural and mental health debates: what happens when people are surrounded by stimulation, comparison and aspiration, yet struggle to find meaning. His work argues that stronger societies require more than attention and achievement; they require purpose, responsibility and reasons to care. The World Health Organization reported in 2025 that more than one billion people were living with mental-health conditions. Gordon’s argument focuses on one cultural layer within that wider crisis: the beliefs and expectations shaping how young people understand success, relationships and purpose. Harvard’s Making Caring Common project found that 58 percent of surveyed U.S. young adults aged 18–25 reported lacking meaning or purpose during the previous month. The finding does not amount to a global diagnosis, but it gives empirical weight to the question Gordon is asking. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Diplomatic Leverage THE MEDIATION ADVANTAGE Across today’s fractured geopolitical landscape, the ability to speak to rivals is becoming a strategic asset. States that preserve channels where others lose them gain access, relevance and influence far beyond their size. They can reduce miscalculation, keep negotiations alive and create room for agreements that direct diplomacy can no longer reach. Mediation is no longer only a peacebuilding tool. It is becoming a form of power. In June 2026, the United Nations reaffirmed that mediation sits at the heart of peaceful dispute resolution and stressed the need to strengthen its role as geopolitical divisions deepen. At the same time, Qatar has continued shuttle diplomacy between Washington and Tehran, demonstrating how a comparatively small state can gain strategic importance by preserving access to actors who struggle to communicate directly. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Strategic Capital WHEN CAPITAL BECOMES FOREIGN POLICY Capital no longer moves only in search of return. Increasingly, it follows strategic priorities: energy security, technological sovereignty, supply chains, infrastructure, critical minerals and national resilience. Governments still want investment, but they are becoming more selective about where it comes from, where it goes and what it is allowed to control. In the new diplomacy, money is not merely financing power. It is becoming one of its instruments. Global foreign direct investment reached $1.6 trillion in 2025, while strategic sectors accounted for an increasingly large share of greenfield investment. Sovereign wealth funds now manage more than $16 trillion in assets, giving state-linked capital unprecedented reach across infrastructure, technology, energy and strategic industries. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Network Capital MAISSA BALLOUT SHAMSHOUM - THE POWER OF ACCESS Maissa Ballout Shamshoum operates at the intersection of capital, technology, entrepreneurship and global networks. Her central argument is simple but consequential: talent may be widely distributed, but access is not. In a world where trusted connections increasingly determine who reaches capital, markets and opportunity, access itself is becoming a form of infrastructure — and a new source of global influence. “Talent is everywhere. Access is not.” Shamshoum identifies access to capital, mentors, information, markets and trusted introductions as a decisive factor in why equally capable founders can follow very different trajectories. At Hasoub, the model she describes is systemic rather than programmatic: Talent → Founders → Companies → Capital → Global Markets. The goal is to build an ecosystem capable of producing its own founders, investors, networks and global companies. Her leadership thesis extends beyond startups: influence increasingly comes from connecting systems that usually operate separately — technology with capital, founders with markets, research with commercialization and local talent with global opportunity. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link President’s Insight THE COST OF DIVISION Human progress has never been greater, yet political failure still allows ambition, division and power to destroy lives and prosperity. True leadership is not measured by the ability to wage war, but by the courage to prevent it. Through the Global Chamber of Business Leaders and its Global Coalition for Cooperation and Peace, we seek to unite business, diplomacy, science and civil society around sustainable peace. Cooperation builds trust, shared interests and responsibility; peace creates the stability in which trade, investment, innovation and progress can flourish. History will judge leaders not by power accumulated, but by peace preserved for generations. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Presidential Column LIFE MISSIONS Life is filled with responsibilities and ambitions, but some pursuits carry deeper meaning: they become our life missions. A mission is not a single achievement, but a purpose revealed through dedication, perseverance and sacrifice. For me, that purpose has been education. Teaching showed me that education extends far beyond classrooms and examinations; it creates opportunity, strengthens dignity and expands human possibility. Discovering a mission is only the beginning. The greater challenge is remaining faithful when progress is slow or recognition distant. Purpose is measured not by speed, but by integrity, persistence and what we choose to dedicate our lives to. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Space Lessons SPACE WITHOUT BORDERS Humanity’s expansion into space will be shaped as much by leadership as by technology. Meaningful progress requires cooperation among governments, entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, educators and communities. This “space mindset” turns dialogue into national capability, commercial opportunity and public benefit. For emerging nations, even a first satellite can build skills, careers, legislation and long-term participation in the space economy. Success depends on leaders who listen, build trust and balance ambition with responsible governance. As we move toward the Moon and beyond, the goal should not simply be arriving first, but creating conditions that allow others to advance alongside us as well. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Leadership Innovation THE POWER OF OWNERSHIP Financial literacy is an essential but often overlooked leadership skill for women. Many capable founders and executives hesitate around investing not because of ability, but limited exposure and opportunity. Women have often been taught to save rather than invest, despite demonstrating patience and long-term discipline when they do. Confidence grows through action: learning valuations, asking questions and participating in investment decisions. Financial education and female investment networks can transform uncertainty into informed judgement. Investing also supports innovation, jobs and communities. Ultimately, financial literacy creates freedom: the ability to build wealth, support ideas and shape one’s future with confidence and independence. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Currency of Change THE ARCHITECTURE OF TRUST Trust and resilience are shaped not only by character, but by design. Efficiency reduces spare capacity when conditions are favourable; resilience preserves options when they are not. Greece showed how debt, structural weakness and limited flexibility can deepen crisis, while Mauritius demonstrated the value of diversification and economic foundations. Resilience may appear inefficient because reserves, redundancy and preparation cost money, yet these resources become essential when disruption arrives. The lesson applies to countries, businesses, families and institutions. Strong systems are not those operating closest to their limits, but those able to adapt, absorb pressure and preserve choice when circumstances change. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Leadership Innovation BEYOND THE HANDSHAKE The future may be digital, but trust remains human. Technology allows diplomacy to move faster across borders through screens, platforms and artificial intelligence, yet connectivity alone cannot create understanding. Diplomacy depends on listening, empathy, judgement and the ability to recognise what remains unspoken. A handshake symbolises something technology cannot manufacture: mutual recognition and willingness to meet halfway. Digital tools can improve analysis, communication and efficiency, but they cannot replace human connection. Future leaders must know when presence, patience and personal judgement matter most. Diplomacy will ultimately succeed not through better technology alone, but through people choosing to trust one another. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Beauty Intelligence TOO YOUNG TO AGE? Social media and filtered images are changing how young people see their faces, sometimes creating anxiety about ageing before it begins. Preventive Botox, fillers and other procedures are increasingly marketed to people in their twenties, but medical intervention should never replace sound judgement. Healthy habits such as sun protection, skincare, exercise and nutrition support long-term wellbeing without unnecessary treatment. Aesthetic medicine should focus on genuine concerns, realistic expectations and meaningful benefit relative to risk. Responsible doctors must know when not to intervene. Ageing is natural, not a disease, and youth should never become a condition that requires treatment at all. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ayurveda Column BEYOND THE SINGLE TARGET Modern medicine has transformed healthcare by targeting individual molecules, pathways and organs, but chronic disease reveals the limits of studying systems in isolation. Metabolism, immunity, genetics, the microbiome, environment and lifestyle interact continuously. Systems biology is helping researchers understand these relationships more comprehensively. Traditional frameworks such as Ayurveda may also generate hypotheses worth testing, provided they are examined rigorously. Small studies have explored Ayurvedic approaches in obesity and rheumatoid arthritis, but they do not establish effectiveness or justify replacing proven treatments. The future of medicine should focus on evidence: test ideas, measure outcomes, replicate findings and reject what fails scientifically. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Currency of Change BEYOND BORDERS For decades, business success meant outperforming competitors, but today opportunities often emerge through collaboration. Technology, AI and global connectivity allow entrepreneurs to work across borders, yet trust determines whether connections become meaningful partnerships. This matters especially for women entrepreneurs, young founders and smaller businesses, where access to knowledge, mentorship, markets and relationships can be as important as capital. Strong networks create value by combining complementary strengths and opening doors for one another. Competition still drives excellence, but cooperation enables achievements no organisation could reach alone. The future will reward leaders who connect people, resources and ideas to build shared prosperity. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Currency of Change THE NEW NETWORKING Business has always depended on relationships, but access to valuable networks is becoming more open and global. Technology allows entrepreneurs, investors and leaders across continents to connect, yet introductions alone are not enough. Trust, credibility and shared value turn connections into opportunities. Modern networks increasingly unite industries, cultures and generations while emphasising mentorship, knowledge-sharing and long-term collaboration. This makes relationship capital a critical leadership asset, often unlocking knowledge, partnerships and markets that financial capital alone cannot secure. The future will favour leaders who build inclusive ecosystems, create opportunities for others and understand that influence grows through trusted, meaningful relationships together.
