The theme for the conference was “The future is sustainable economies: Redefining Energy, Innovation and development”. Delegates showed confidence by creating amendments that were well-thought-out and shaped fruitful resolutions. Skills such as research, diplomacy, negotiation, and public speaking, which are the true essence of MUN, were highlighted at this conference.
