The European Muslims League pays tribute to H.E. Dato’ Shahabudeen bin Adam Shah, Ambassador of Malaysia to Italy, highlighting his diplomatic experience, human qualities and commitment to international friendship and dialogue.
GENOA, ITALY – 12 October 2026
Diplomacy is not measured solely through official meetings and institutional protocols, but also through the ability to listen, engage in dialogue and bring people closer together.
This is one of the qualities that the European Muslims League (EML) wishes to highlight in paying tribute to H.E. Dato’ Shahabudeen bin Adam Shah, Ambassador of Malaysia to the Italian Republic, who participated in the third edition of “Un Calcio alla Guerra – Kick War Away”, held in Genoa on 10 October 2026.
An experienced diplomat, the Ambassador represents Malaysia, a country that holds a significant position within the Muslim world and international relations, promoting dialogue among cultures, religions and civilisations.
His sensitivity towards intercultural dialogue, his understanding of international diplomatic relations and his attention to relations with Arab and Muslim-majority countries are qualities particularly appreciated by the European Muslims League.
Beyond his diplomatic experience, however, what stands out is his simplicity, approachability and humility, qualities that give even greater meaning to his institutional role.
During the Genoa event, the Ambassador took part in the Peace March alongside mayors, representatives of Italian institutions, religious communities and citizens, personally sharing the spirit and values of the initiative.
Later, during the official ceremony at the Rina and Gilberto Govi Theatre, he received, on behalf of H.E. Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Special International Peace Award 2026, presented in recognition of the Prime Minister's commitment to promoting peace, interfaith dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
H.E. Ambassador Alfredo Maiolese, President of the European Muslims League, Secretary-General and Ambassador at Large of the World Organization of States – International Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP), expressed his particular appreciation for the Ambassador's participation:
“I had the pleasure of meeting a diplomatic representative of great experience, but above all, a person who combines authority with humility. His participation in our event represents a gesture of friendship and genuine commitment to the values of peace. These are qualities that I consider essential in contemporary diplomacy.”
The European Muslims League regards the Malaysian Ambassador's presence in Genoa as an important opportunity to strengthen ties of friendship and cooperation, firmly believing that dialogue between Europe, the Arab world and Muslim-majority countries is an essential instrument for mutual understanding.
True diplomacy is not only about representing a State, but also about building bridges of trust between peoples.
In this spirit, the European Muslims League expresses its sincere gratitude to H.E. Dato’ Shahabudeen bin Adam Shah, extending its warmest wishes for the continued success of his diplomatic mission.
