On July 20th, 2025, in the serene coastal village of Kizimkazi, Zanzibar, Her Excellency Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania, warmly received a delegation from Miss World Limited, led by its Chair and CEO Julia Morley.
The meeting brought together some of the most inspiring young women of this generation, including the reigning Miss World, Opal Suchata Chuangsri @suchaaata from Thailand, and Miss World Africa and 1st Runner-up, Hasset Dereje @hasset_dereje from Ethiopia. They were joined by ministers from various sectors, including Culture, Sports, Natural Resources, and Tourism.
During the private discussion, Opal and Hasset had the opportunity to personally share the heart of the Miss World platform: their Beauty With a Purpose projects.
