Hi delegates! I'm Karl Chu, a junior at Taipei American School, and your president for ECOSOC at HSINMUN XXI this year. I will be chairing with my co-chair, Tiffany Ting, and it is a pleasure to work with all of you. This conference will be my twelfth conference, and my third conference chairing. Going into my fifth year doing MUN, I think it is safe to say that MUN has had a large impact on me. It has fostered my interest in geopolitics, made me a better debater, and along the way has introduced me to many friendships.
Our topics this year, combating the global food crisis and US foreign aid reductions, are undoubtedly extremely crucial to global development, especially the development of third-world nations. Despite nations becoming increasingly isolationist and acting in their own self-interest, global cooperation is more important than ever, and this means working together to ensure food security and aid to underdeveloped nations in these trying times. After all, we cannot advance as a global society if so many of us are left behind. I look forward to seeing all of you debate on these issues and find cooperation between nations.
MUN aside, my other hobbies include learning about history and politics, playing rugby, and lifting. You can find me at 27karlc@students.tas.tw or @karl_1024 on Instagram. I look forward to meeting all of you.
Hi there, delegates! I'm Tiffany Ting, a sophomore at Hsinchu International Academy. I am incredibly honored to have the opportunity to serve as your deputy president for ECOSOC at this year's HsinMUN!
HSINMUN 2025 will be my 7th Model United Nations (MUN) to date and my first time chairing. I had just learned about Model United Nations (MUN) last year, embarking on my MUN journey in the 8th grade. This journey has taught me many lessons and given me the chance to meet more people, collaborate, and communicate with all the voices around me. At the beginning, I was nothing more than a shy delegate who was too scared to speak up, but as I joined more conferences, I started to gain the confidence to speak by raising POIs and submitting amendments. MUN will always hold a special place in my heart; here, we can all freely express our opinions and judgments. I hope to provide the best experience for all of you on this MUN journey, whether this is your first conference or your last. Aside from Model United Nations (MUN), I have several hobbies, including reading, writing, various forms of art, and public speaking. As a chair, it is my responsibility to encourage and support all delegates on this journey. I understand how speaking up for the first time, volunteering to be the primary submitter of a resolution, or standing up to ask a point of information (POI) can be both frightening and challenging. However, if you have any questions or need help, please don't hesitate to ask me.
I hope to make this year's HSINMUN conference a memorable and enjoyable experience for all of you! I look forward to meeting all of you soon!
