We Care for Humanity (WCH) has officially announced the new dates and prestigious venue for its flagship global event, the 9th WCH World Royal Summit. Originally planned for Bangalore, the summit was strategically postponed out of an abundance of caution and deep respect for proactive health precautions implemented by the Government of India regarding the Ebola outbreak affecting parts of Africa. Now, the highly anticipated summit is officially set to resume from December 11 to December 12, 2026, beautifully integrated into the landmark 17th World Confluence of Humanity, Power & Spirituality in Kolkata, India.
The extensive daytime conference sessions will take place at the main confluence venue, while the summit’s high-level fundraising exhibit layout and evening gala will be hosted within the historic Lalit Great Eastern Hotel Ballroom. The unified event marks the second monumental partnership between We Care for Humanity and the World Confluence, following their highly successful initial integration in 2018 which drew notable dignitaries across Europe, Africa, and Asia. As a premier World Royal Summit, this Kolkata event anticipates an extraordinary congregation of international royalty, traditional heads of state, and global humanitarians.
The unified event is organized in close cooperation with the renowned Kanoria Foundation, chaired by the eminent philanthropist and educationist Dr. Hari Prasad Kanoria, alongside the organizational leadership of Dr. Rahul Varma, Director of the World Confluence. Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura (Queen Maria), Founder and President of We Care for Humanity, has served as a dedicated, long-standing member of the World Confluence team, consistently working over the years to bring the world’s most notable and inspiring speakers to the platform.
Quotes from Global Leadership
Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura (Queen Maria), Founder & President of WCH:
"When international health directives prompted the Indian government to rightfully exercise maximum precaution, we chose to responsibly postpone our Bangalore dates. True humanitarian work always honors the safety of its global citizens and adapts. Bringing our flagship World Royal Summit to Kolkata by integrating it with the 17th World Confluence feels like a natural return. Having served as a member of the Confluence team for a very long time, I am profoundly grateful that we are joining hands once again. Our 2018 partnership was an absolute triumph for global diplomacy, and this December, with the exceptional support of the Kanoria Foundation, we are preparing to welcome an unparalleled assembly of international royalty to spark actionable, lasting change for humanity."
Dr. Hari Prasad Kanoria, Chairman of the Kanoria Foundation:
"The Kanoria Foundation is honored to partner with We Care for Humanity for the resumption of the 9th World Royal Summit. Our core ethos has always been anchored in devotion, spiritual intelligence, and selfless service to the global community. By hosting this royal delegation alongside the 17th World Confluence in Kolkata, we are creating a unique sanctuary where sovereign authority, ethical leadership, and deep human values converge to uplift the vulnerable and inspire future generations."
Dr. Rahul Varma, Director of the World Confluence of Humanity, Power & Spirituality:
"Integrating the 9th WCH World Royal Summit into the 17th World Confluence allows us to expand the horizons of our global mission. Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura (Queen Maria) has been an indispensable pillar of our confluence team for many years, bringing remarkable voices to our stage. Witnessing our two platforms unite for a second time—following the immense success of our 2018 collaboration—is a testament to what can be achieved when global networks share a unified vision for peace and human dignity."
