Welcome Letter

Distinguished Applicants, Sponsors, Advisors, Guests, and the Secretariats of International Vietnam Model United Nations 2024,

We are Minh-Thu Nguyen and Thao-Nguyen Vu, the Co-Secretaries-General of International Vietnam Model United Nations (IVMUN) 2024, and it is our utmost pleasure to welcome you to IVMUN's 10th Conference from July 26th to July 28th this year.

The world is constantly changing, and so are we. This, in itself, is a double-edged sword - along with the astounding advancements of human civilization is the onset of wars, conflicts, and disasters; and while our generation has been granted an opportunity to bear the fruits of our predecessors’ achievements, it is also our job to close a seemingly never ending vicious cycle of catastrophes. Thus, empowering and uplifting voices of the youth has never been of such considerable significance in this mission, and it was with the same goal in mind that the foundation for Model UN was laid.

IVMUN takes pride in being among the most established Model UN organizations both in Hanoi and nationwide. Entering our 10th year with the same cultivated principles of professionalism and dynamism, we are once again assured of the influence of IVMUN, as well as the academic model itself, on the youth; and it is this exact thought that continues to drive us organizers forward to working towards making this a memorable experience for you all. At IVMUN 2024, our Delegates and Observers will have the opportunity to participate in 06 Committees, whose topics range from familiar matters such as education and the environment to the dynamic subject field of fiery wars and conflicts. 

Throughout the three Conference days, we hope our Delegates and Observers will be able to break out of their comfort circle and grant themselves the opportunity to enrich their minds with global affairs-related knowledge, experiences, and valuable soft skills. We also hope that IVMUN 2024 can make its way to become one of the most significant milestones of your summer.

One decade of sweat and tears, of collaborative and concerted efforts - we cannot help but be extremely proud to witness IVMUN’s growth through the years; and today, as we go on to become leaders of the organization, we want to take a moment to honor the sacrifices and contributions of our predecessors, the dedication of our Secretariats, the assistance from our Sponsors, and, most importantly, the continuous and unwavering support of our participants. Without any of you, this letter would never have been written, and our aspirations for IVMUN 2024 would never have come into fruition.

As the Co-Secretaries-General of IVMUN 2024, we hope to have you as our companions in this precious journey to mark the upcoming 10th year anniversary of our organization. As the saying has gone from our very first days, “Changing the world, one resolution at a time,” our future lies within your hands, and we are more than eager to witness where creativity will drive you under the vortex of fate.

We look forward to welcoming you all at IVMUN 2024.

Yours faithfully,

Minh-Thu Nguyen and Thao-Nguyen Vu.
