Esteemed Program Directors, honorable former SHAMUN chairs, and most distinguished delegates,

As the secretariat, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in the Twenty-Fifth Plenary Session of the Shanghai Model United Nations Conference on October 17-19, 2025. It was a privilege to host a conference that brought together well over four hundred students from sixteen schools—all of whom are united in their commitment to diplomacy and creating solutions for a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future.

Throughout the three-day conference, we were deeply impressed by the level of engagement and collaboration demonstrated by our delegates. Over a thousand amendments were passed and hundreds of speeches were made across our eleven committees. We are proud to hear that so many delegates, both seasoned veterans and newcomers, found the conference to be an enriching and invaluable experience for them. They all demonstrated a remarkable commitment to engaging in meaningful dialogue and crafting effective solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges.

We are confident that the knowledge, insights, and experience gained during the conference will inspire delegates to continue their engagement with contemporary issues and take action in their respective communities, both at the global and local level. Moreover, we believe that the conference provided a unique opportunity for delegates to build meaningful connections and friendships with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. It has been our absolute pleasure to have provided the platform for these interactions.

In closing, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for all those who made the conference possible, including our student officers, volunteers, and wonderful staff team. We are proud to have hosted an event that fostered open dialogue, mutual respect, and collaboration among all delegates and schools. We remain committed to supporting the efforts of our delegates as they continue to work towards building a better future.
