Honorable Delegates and Faculty Advisors,

 

   It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the 43rd edition of Colegio Nueva Granada’s Model United Nations: CNGMUN XLIII. My name is Sara Villegas, and it is with great excitement that I serve as your Secretary-General for this year’s conference, held March 7th ,8th, and 9th, 2025. Over these three days, we will join forces with students from around the world, united by a common goal: to collaborate, debate, and strive for creative solutions to the most pressing global issues we face today.

 

   At the heart of our discussions lies the importance of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of our dreams. As young leaders, we are often told that the challenges ahead are too great, that the problems are too complex for us to solve. Yet, I firmly believe that it is our resilience in the face of adversity and our determination to follow our dreams that will make the difference. MUN teaches us to persevere, to think critically, and to never back down from the issues that matter most.

 

   In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, filled with injustices and uncertainty, it is easy to lose sight of what drives us. But it is precisely in these moments that we must push forward. Each debate in this conference is a testament to our collective determination to build a better future. It reminds us that while the road may be long, we are not alone. Together, we can achieve meaningful change, step by step.

 

   As we gather for this year’s conference, I encourage you to embrace this spirit of resilience, determination, and to remember why you are here. Let your voice be heard, let your ideas flourish, and never forget the power you hold to shape the world around you.

 

   On behalf of the Secretariat, I look forward to seeing you all in action and am confident that the passion and dedication you bring to CNGMUN XLIII will inspire us all.

Kind regards,  

 

   Sara Villegas
Secretary-General, CNGMUN XLIII
