Dear Delegates, 

​
It is with immense honour and joy that I welcome you to J.B. MUN 2025. This year marks the 9th edition of our prestigious conference, and after months of preparation, it feels almost unreal to finally be here. On behalf of the entire secretariat, I can confidently say that being part of this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Looking back, MUN has been the highlight of my school years. I still vividly remember my very first conference, sitting in the J.B. hall, overwhelmed yet excited, not knowing that this experience would one day lead me here. From those first nervous speeches, to the unforgettable moments of table-banging applause, to the bittersweet satisfaction of closing ceremonies, MUN has been a journey of growth, resilience, and discovery. MUN has taught me to be more confident, to prioritise assertion over aggression, to work together with other individuals to come to a unanimous solution. 

I know many of you may feel anxious or underprepared, but that very feeling is what pushes you to grow. And along the way, you’ll collect experiences that no study guide can ever teach you: the thrill of speaking without notes, the joy of collaboration, the pride of your first award, and the memories of friendships that last far beyond the conference.

My only advice? Don’t be afraid to throw yourself into it. Speak even when you think you’ll mess up, argue even if you’re not sure you’ll win, and most importantly, enjoy it. Trust me, the best parts of MUN aren’t always the awards, they’re the people you meet and the moments that catch you off guard.
