NPSIA Alum Ali Tejpar Selected for Munich Young Leaders Program

We are happy to share that NPSIA alum Ali Tejpar (MA 2018) has been selected as the Canadian participant in this year’s Munich Young Leaders program at the Munich Security Conference. Ali currently serves as Chief of Staff to the Foreign and Defence Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council in Ottawa.

The Munich Young Leaders program, a joint initiative of Körber-Stiftung and the Munich Security Conference, was launched in 2009 to provide a global platform for emerging leaders under 40. Each year, about 25 outstanding talents from governments, parliaments, civil society, academia, think tanks, media, and the private sector are selected to engage with senior decision-makers and key global figures.

Through this program, Ali will participate in high-level discussions on foreign and security policy, strengthening both his professional networks and his influence on critical international debates. His selection is a testament to his exceptional career trajectory and reflects the caliber of leaders NPSIA is proud to count among its alumni.

Congratulations, Ali, on this remarkable achievement!
