​Prospective Delegates, Sponsor Teachers, and Faculty Advisors,
​
Born from a desire to provide a free and accessible experience of diplomacy for all, AbbyMUN is proud to host its 6th iteration— standing as the largest free day conference in British Columbia. Since its establishment in 2019, AbbyMUN has been a platform for aspiring young leaders to challenge ideas, engage in meaningful dialogue, all without financial barriers. This year, it is my distinct honour to welcome you to Abbotsford Model United Nations 2025.
​
This iteration, our substantive program reflects a diverse and challenging myriad of global and historical issues: From examining the evolving role of private military and security companies in DISEC, to re-evaluating international intervention in Kosovo in UNSC and the pursuit of justice during the Salem Witch Trials in HCC, this year’s committees invite all delegates engage in fruitful debate and endure a curiosity for the mechanisms that shape our world today. Complementing these committees is AbbyMUN’s signature Combined Crisis, featuring a surprise topic revealed at the conference itself. This dynamic simulation challenges delegates to think critically act decisively with delegates from all committees in order to adapt to the fast-paced realities of diplomacy under pressure.
At AbbyMUN, we believe that venturing into the world of diplomacy begins with accessibility, and as Secretary-General, I am honoured to continue our tradition of providing a free high-calibre platform of debate and diplomacy for seasoned veterans and fresh delegates alike.
​
As you prepare to enter your committee rooms this December, I encourage each delegate to approach each discussion aiming to debate boldly, listen actively, and allow yourself to be challenged, for it is through discomfort that true understanding emerges. Beyond resolutions and motions, take this opportunity to form new connections and create lifelong memories with those who share your passion for global dialogue.
​
Should any queries arise, please do not hesitate to contact me at sgabbymun@gmail.com. I look forward to opening the doors of Abbotsford Senior Secondary School for AbbyMUN 2025 and meeting you all for yet another day of diplomatic dialogue.
Warm Regards,
Guntas Bawa

Secretary-General
Abbotsford Model United Nations 2025
