Guest Speaker

Bapak Rolliansyah Soemirat

Inviting a guest speaker like Bapak Rolliansyah Soemirat, Director for ASEAN Political-Security Cooperation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Indonesia, to address our Model United Nations in 2023 was an invaluable opportunity for our students. Guest speakers like Bapak Rolliansyah Soemirat bring real-world expertise and insights into global affairs, offering students a unique perspective on the complex dynamics of international relations. His expertise in economics and foreign affairs shed light on the intersection of economic policy and diplomacy, a vital component of global governance. Interacting with distinguished speakers not only enhances our students' knowledge but also inspires them to engage in critical thinking, ask informed questions, and consider the practical implications of their debates and resolutions. It fosters a connection between classroom learning and the real world, making the Model United Nations experience even more enriching and relevant for our students, preparing them for future leadership roles in global affairs.
