Secretariat

It is with immense excitement and great pleasure that I welcome you to the second edition of Maria Reina Model United Nations 2025. My name is Letizia Soria, and I feel deeply honored to be this year’s Secretary General of Maria Reina’s MUN conference.

When I first joined the world of Model UN in 2023, I never conceptualized how rapidly it would become a fundamental aspect of who I am. From my very first simulation, where I forgot to print all research or even bring a notepad, to now leading my delegation, representing my school, and becoming Secretary-General, the journey has been filled with a plethora of challenges, lessons, and unforgettable memories.

Across more conferences than I could count, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting amazing individuals, forging strong friendships with my teammates, and deepening both my knowledge on global conflicts, personal perspectives, and essential soft skills. Of course, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of winning a Best Delegate gavel, but what I value most is the sense of companionship, support, and family that emerges within a team. In essence, my experience as a delegate has been most defined by the people who encouraged me to prevail, to try, to speak, and to stand up when obstacles made possibilities seem bleak. The mentors who pushed me to improve, and the team that works together to lift each other up. Those moments are the ones that encapsulate what MUN is truly about.

With that same spirit of teamwork and commitment, we’ve poured ourselves into the preparation of this year’s conference: MRMUN 2025. Every detail, from the topics to the logistics, has been a product of a Secretariat that believes in the power this conference has to challenge, inspire, and empower each delegate who walks into committee. I feel deeply grateful to carry forward the legacy of last year’s conference, and I’m confident that this dedication will continue to grow in the years to come.

Thank you to the Secretariat, the staff, my teammates, and coaches who made this possible, and most of all, thank you to each delegate reading this, for being the reason this conference exists. On behalf of everyone behind Maria Reina MUN 2025: Raise your placard, speak your mind, challenge ideas, and most importantly, enjoy the process. Let it shape you.

Best regards,
