Message from Secretary General

By the grace of Almighty we have successfully created a glorious milestone in the history of University of Chittagong as well as in Bangladesh MUN community by organizing two revolutionary conferences CUMUN 2015 and CUMUN 2016. As we promised you before, I am deeply honored to present you Chittagong University Model United Nations 2017.
“ If Dhaka is in mourning, it certainly doesn ' t show it. An optimist will call it resilience— a city buckled but unbowed. A pessimist will call it resignation. But talk to area residents and they ' ll tell you that this time, it ' s a different emotion that overwhelms all others: Apprehension.”- CNN. On July 1-2 2016, twenty two innocent lives were lost in the deadliest terrorist attack on Holey Artisan Bakery, Gulshan Dhaka. The incident was the worst terrorist attack in Bangladesh ' s history. The local media described it as 7 / 16.“ Moralizing youth for a world free of terrorism”- with this theme we hope that our young generation will search for the solution.
I’ d like to give my gratitude to our respected Vice-Chancellor Sir for letting us arrange this conference, administration, honorable advisors and all the general students out there for having faith on us.
