Dear Participants,

Welcome to the 2025 SEYMEN College Model United Nations Conference.

As your Secretary-General, we are looking forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas for solving international problems.

The United Nations (UN) depends on the cooperation and goodwill of its 193 Member States. Because each state has unique interests and concerns, it is challenging to write, negotiate, and pass resolutions. Every stage of the process demands creativity and diplomacy.

As your Secretary-General and committee chairs, we will work to keep the SEYMUN 2025 committees running smoothly. We will do our best to help you understand parliamentary procedure and to ensure that the views of all delegates are heard and respected.

This year we have aimed to raise awareness about the very serious global issues. I accept the fact that we are all informed and concerned about water shortage, child poverty, child abuse, water pollution, unrestrained armament, but in reality, honestly what are we doing to take actions to prevent them? For this reason, in order not to neglect, but be responsible to handle the matter, we have set our agenda as ‘Turn Knowldge into Action’. Because we believe and have experienced that it is not the case just to know the problem, nothing can be solved with information only. Problem solving requires making moves and struggling willingly and passionately.

It is my hope that all those who attend SEYMUN’25 will cherish the memories made for long after my gavel marks the end of the closing ceremony. On behalf of a dedicated Secretariat and, our team, we, once again, welcome you to SEYMEN MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2025.

SECRETARY-GENERAL
