During the visit to Bahrain in May 2023, Dr. M. Mahabbat Hossain, Principal Coordinator of IBFC Thrive with Shari’ah, held a meeting with a team from AAOIFI, which included Mr. Omar Mustafa Ansari (Secretary General), Dr. Rizwan Malik (Head of Standard Implementation & Strategic Development), and Mr. Farhan Noor (Head of Capacity Development). The discussion encompassed various issues pertinent to the Islamic Finance Industry, as well as potential areas of support from AAOIFI and opportunities for joint collaboration.
