Honourable delegates, esteemed student officers, and most distinguished guests and advisors,
My name is Inhae Hong and I am currently enrolling in my last year at the British International School, and it is my great pleasure to serve as the Deputy Secretary General of SAIMUN 2017. This is my 12th and last conference and I am most honoured to perform this role. The topic of “Reaching Global Consensus” might just be the motto that the United Nations stand by. Reaching global consensus is hard, and might seem impossible. However, once this goal is reached, I believe that the world will be absent of injustice, corruption, and misconduct. You as model UN’ers might be the prime example of what it takes to reach this goal, and I hope to see this in action in SAIMUN 2017.
MUN was, and still is one of my fondest memories of high school and I believe many of you will agree with me. MUN is a place where new friendships are made, allies are formed and relationships bloom. As representatives of each country, it may not seem apparent at first, but a step back from your roles will show you that MUN is a place full of new and wonderful friendships. Of the many things you will take from this conference, one of the most important might just be that.
Throughout the years, MUN may have been an opportunity to learn skills, improve public speaking and adapt different roles. Now that you have gained all these cards through practice, SAIMUN 2017 will be the chance to play these cards. Play them right and you will gain even newer and wonderful experiences.
The last message to give you is to have fun. MUN is not dull, nor it is mundane. MUN is a special time of your school life but the only thing that actually makes it special is you, whether you are a delegate, student officer, admin or press team. See you then.
Sincerely,
Inhae Hong
The British International School Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City
Deputy Secretary General
