Held online for the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event returned to its offline format, drawing much attention and attracting a large audience.   

 

At the 46th HIMUN General Assembly, which adheres to the basic principles and working methods of the UN, the representatives of the participating nations gave speeches on the theme in their country’s respective language. Their speeches were translated into the six official UN languages (English, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic) as well as Korean. This year’s event was joined by seven nations, including Korea, Germany, the U.S., Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, the U.K., and China. 

 

Launched in 1958, HUFS HIMUN celebrates its 64th anniversary this year and is recognized as Korea’s first and best foreign language academic conference at the university level. Guided by the UN’s basic principle of “Peace and Benevolence for International Peace and Security,” the conference is well regarded as a platform and academic forum for young people who will lead in a global era.
