SECRETARY-GENERAL'S
ADDRESS
Dear Distinguished Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
As the Secretary-General of Singapore Model United Nations 2019, it is my pleasure to invite you to be part of one of Asia-Pacific’s most prestigious conferences — the 16th Singapore Model United Nations (SMUN) Conference which will be held from the 10th - 13th June 2019!
The National University of Singapore (NUS) Political Science Society (PSSoc) works very hard each year to organise and host a successful, memorable, and enjoyable conference for you. Held in NUS, SMUN 2019 will welcome an internationally diverse pool of pre-tertiary and university students from the Asia-Pacific region.
Since its conception, SMUN has prided itself in the academic rigour of providing a dynamic, immersive experience to its delegates – a tradition which SMUN 2019 will carry forward with its unique mix of committees and topics. Delegates will address many of today’s most controversial and important international topics in 8 committees: Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC), Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), World Health Organisation (WHO), World Trade Organisation (WTO), European Council (EC), United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and the Tokugawa Shogunate (Historical Crisis). Futhermore, you will be treated to an immersive dialogue session with our renowned Guests of Honours. In previous editions, SMUN has hosted Foreign Service Officers, Diplomats, Professors, Ministers, and Members of Parliament who have shared their first hand experiences and insights with our delegates.
We cordially invite the curious and eager among you to discuss, to negotiate, and to collaborate with others, and leave the conference with a passion to affect change in the world where you can make your voice known. Beyond academia, we hope that you find greater value from forming life-long friendships with the like-minded peers you will meet in SMUN. Details about SMUN 2019 can be found on our website as well as our delegate prospectus. However, should you have further queries, please do not hesitate to get in contact via our website. We look forward to seeing you at the conference this June!
Sincerely,
Royston Long
Secretary-General
Singapore Model United Nations (SMUN) 2019
