WELCOMING REMARKS
Welcome to Asia Youth International Model United Nations 2024. I am excited about
creating unforgettable memories that will shape who we are and the mark we leave in this
world.
My name is Jonas Bruns, and I will serve you as the Secretary-General. I am a German living
in Vienna, Austria, where I started my first job in strategy consulting after graduating with a
mechanical engineering master's.
My true passion, however, is Model United Nations. It's 10 years ago, I participated for the
first time in a Model UN during my high school days. Throughout university, it has been my
way out of the engineering bubble to challenge my preconceptions, widen my mind, and
make friends worldwide – including in Kuala Lumpur. Having been a chair at AYIMUN
2020, I could not be happier to be returning.
I want to address particularly those of you new to Model United Nations. You have opened
the door to a global community that allows you to hone your skills and connect with the
world. But opening a door doesn't get you into the room. I invite you to try yourself out
boldly and fearlessly. To speak up, debate, and embrace the magic of trying something new.
The chair team and I will be there to accompany you.
Should you have any questions before, during, or after the conference, please get in touch
with me through Jonas.bruns@mymun.com.

INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL NETWORK
Since its establishment, IGN has successfully conducted various programs such
as Youth Excursion, Asia Student Summit, Leaderpreneur Summit, Sasambo
Greenation Camp, and Korea International Culture and Education. The
programs’ objectives are to provide platforms for the youth (especially in Asia),
to explore ideas ranging from leadership, education, entrepreneurship,
environment, and culture. These programs have allowed the participants to
acquire knowledge directly through symposiums, university/company visit, site
research, and group presentation with an excursion concept. In 2017, IGN
started its first Model United Nations (MUN) program known as Asia Youth
International MUN. Since then, IGN has continuously created more MUN
programs such as Global Goals MUN, Asia World MUN, and Bali International
MUN. From IGN programs, IGN hopes that youth can contribute to initiating
changes and transforming the world into a better place.

become more knowledgeable and experienced in conducting negotiations
between the two groups in a tactful and result-oriented manner.
E. Leadership
By joining a MUN conference as a delegate, or in other words as a
representative of a country, it can help to improve their leadership skills,
especially in making a decision as a future leader. The experiences they
