SECURITY COUNCIL

President: Amy Wang (IBSH)

Dep. President: Sarina Tsai (AAIA)

(101) The issue in Yemen and the Red Sea

Hey, delegates! My name is Amy Wang, a senior at the International School at Hsinchu Science Park (IBSH), and I am honored to be serving as your Security Council President for HSINMUN XX. I shared many of my “firsts” with HSINMUN: my first conference, my first time delegating online due to the pandemic, and my first time chairing. Although I know HSINMUN XX probably won’t be a first for a lot of you, I hope you will find the same excitement, passion, and anticipation that your "firsts" gave you through HSINMUN XX. As for me, HSINMUN XX will now be my last HSINMUN, and I am overjoyed to be able to share this experience with you in October. My favorite activities to do in my free time include dancing, playing basketball, and discussing the new and the old of pop culture. I am also an avid follower of American legal news, so you may find me listening to legal podcasts or yapping about Clarence Thomas and his bribery scandals. HSINMUN XX has always been a huge inspiration to my MUN journey, and although my journey will soon come to an end, I hope that I would be able to inspire you in the same ways that HSINMUN has done for me. Thus, don’t be afraid to break out of your shells, try main-submitting as much as you can, or maybe even impromptu speaking, and soon you will find yourself a new debater, better armed than ever before. With that being said, I hope to see you all very soon in October, peace out!

Greetings, delegates! My name is Sarina Tsai, a junior at Asia American International Academy, and it is with great pleasure that I serve as your Deputy President in the United Nations Security Council. HSINMUN XX will be my sixteenth conference and fifth time chairing. I began my MUN journey in 7th grade, starting as a baffled student who was intimidated by the powerful speakers in my committee. Fortunately, with the help of my chairs and fellow peers, I overcame the obstacles I faced, ending my first conference with a newly-founded eagerness to continue my MUN journey. I encouraged myself to speak more with each passing conference and soon began to enjoy the intense crossfires, forming alliances with delegations and bringing about a sense of unity. I have since expanded my knowledge regarding global issues, founded a love for public speaking, and created several long-lasting friendships. Aside from MUN, I enjoy singing, dancing, and reading. MUN has fueled my passion for debate and left a profound impact on my life, and I hope to spread my love for MUN to you all. See you in HSINMUN XX!
