Greetings delegates!

My name is Morris Hsieh, and I am currently a senior attending Hsinchu County American School. I am honored to serve as your Head President for the Advisory Panel (APQ) alongside my Deputy President, James Chu.

My first-ever MUN conference was during HSINMUN, where I was an anxious yet curious delegate exploring the issue of regulating trade in wildlife and wildlife products in the Environmental Committee. It was during this experience that I discovered my passion for debating global topics and collaboratively developing feasible solutions.

Since then, I have participated in over ten conferences, and this marks my first-ever experience as a chair. To the beginner delegates: I want to reassure you that overcoming anxiety takes time, but it’s a journey worth taking. Even if this is your first MUN experience, and speaking your first POI or delivering your first speech feels impossible, once you take that initial step, it will get easier.

Aside from MUN, I enjoy playing sports, mainly golf and badminton. I also enjoy gaming with my friends whenever I’m free.

I hope to see you all actively engage in the debates and enjoy the process overall. I’m looking forward to the conference!

Dear delegates, welcome to HSINMUN XXI! My name is James Chit-Yan Chu, a sophomore from the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park, and I’m incredibly honored to serve as vice president of the Advisory Panel. I started my MUN journey as an admin back in 2022, but I didn’t start joining conferences as a delegate until last year. For some people, MUN might seem like a place for making friends and having fun, but to me, it is a place where students from all backgrounds could collaborate and debate realistic solutions to real world issues. I was inspired by countless chairs and secretariats along my MUN journey, and I hope to carry that forward. I want to encourage you to broaden your perspectives and embrace the MUN spirit of diplomacy and problem-solving—crucial skills that would navigate you through challenges you face beyond the conference.

Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced delegate, I hope that APQ will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience! Take every chance to speak and step out of your comfort zone. If you have any questions about the conference or issue, feel free to contact me through email or Instagram and I would be more than happy to help. See you in October!
