Esteemed Delegates, Honorable Chairs, Dear Advisors, and Distinguished Guests,
It brings me great pleasure to welcome you to DŞMUN 2025. This year, our theme is “Beyond Borders: Collective Solutions to the Multidimensional Crises of the 21st Century.” In a world increasingly defined by interconnected challenges—ranging from climate insecurity and technological disruption to regional conflicts and fragile peace processes—the need for bold, cooperative, and forward-thinking diplomacy has never been more pressing.
As tomorrow’s policymakers, peacebuilders, and problem-solvers, your voice is more important than ever. DŞMUN 2025 will provide a platform for you to engage deeply with today’s complex realities, encouraging not only debate and negotiation but also empathy, critical thinking, and innovative approaches. Whether exploring the role of water diplomacy in conflict prevention, navigating the implications of AI on global security, or reimagining sustainable development in vulnerable regions, you will be challenged to think beyond conventional boundaries.
We invite you to go beyond the surface of global issues and reflect on the long-term impact of your ideas. In doing so, you will embody the founding values of the United Nations: cooperation rooted in mutual respect, justice, and the belief in shared responsibility for a better future. As delegates, the work you undertake at this conference carries real value—not only within the committee rooms but as a reflection of the leadership you will carry forward into the world.
At DŞMUN 2025, your participation is not just an academic exercise. It is a step toward shaping a global dialogue that is inclusive, resilient, and solutions-oriented. With every resolution you write and every stance you take, you contribute to a model of diplomacy that reaches beyond borders and builds bridges where they are most needed.
On behalf of the entire Secretariat, we are thrilled to welcome you to our conference. May DŞMUN 2025 be a space where ideas flourish, perspectives broaden, and your impact begins.
Yours sincerely,
Defne Şevval Ataklı
Secretary-General
DŞMUN 2025
