MUNIK V
INTRODUCTION TO COMMITTEE DIRECTORS
Dear Delegates,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to MUNIK V and particularly to the United Nations Development Program. My name is Khizra Jamal and I am currently a freshman at IBA.
I have been in the public speaking circuit in Pakistan, participating in debates, declamations and everything in between. That heady sense of achievement that comes with bringing the trophy home is a feeling you never really lose taste for and yet, accolades are just part of the experience. The learning, the bonding and everything that comes with competitive platforms have a charm of their own. When I got my first dose of MUN back in 2009, I decided it was something I never wanted to let go. I believe MUN conferences are truly unique as no other public speaking forum allows for a better overall learning experience, providing delegates with paramount geopolitical awareness as well phenomenal cross-cultural exploration, inculcating the essence of diplomacy.
Over the span of this conference, I have strong expectations that all of you in this committee will demonstrate exemplary performance, research, and dedication. I hope that you will all be thoroughly prepared to portray your country’s standing on the topics in a professional and commendable fashion.
A word to the beginners – do not be scared, speak for what you believe in, even if no one is listening (believe me someone always is).
We promise to help you find that leader inside you and we promise you an experience you will never forget. The floor is open and it calls on you to take it on.

“Did you know that the UNDP Administrator is the third highest ranking official of the United Nations? Well.. you should. As one half of the UNDP administrators *cough cough*, I’d like to say simply this: WELCOME. UNDP at MUNIK V promises to be engaging, interactive, at times fun (Repeat; at times) and most pertinently, full of learning.
