Welcome to MITMUNC XVII!

Letter from the Secretary General

Dear Delegates,

I am very excited to welcome you to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s 17th annual Model United Nations Conference - MITMUNC XVII! After months of planning, training, and organizing, we hope this conference will be a new, challenging, and enriching experience for you.

With all the difficulties the world has experienced last year and is currently still experiencing, we still look forward to a brighter future. Building a sustainable future requires a lot of collaboration and effort, and we are all hopeful to see that from you, the leaders of tomorrow.

This year, we decided to focus on technology and its impact on our societies and the whole world to test the pros and cons of technological advancement. Tech diplomacy is an important theme that defines MITMUNC XVII, especially with the prevalence of Artificial Intelligence. Technological advancements have paved the way for great and helpful solutions, yet they also opened up space for tech-abuse, which really makes us think, where are we heading? What’s next?

Dialogue, international relations, and collaborations create the backbone of tech diplomacy, and we are all looking forward to seeing your creativity spark during the conference to help implement tech diplomacy around the world and fight technology-abuse that harms the international community.

Having experienced MITMUNC as a chair, then as a Secretary General, I am humbled and thrilled to guide MITMUNC into its best conference yet. Do not hesitate in contacting me or the secretariat team should you encounter any doubts along the way. I wish you the best of luck!

Sincerely,

Your Secretary General: Jad Abou Ali
