The US Embassy in Kathmandu, in partnership with the Youth Thinkers’ Society, is set to host Nepal’s largest-ever regional Model United Nations Conference in the Capital this August.

The embassy, in a statement on Tuesday, announced the plan, which expects to bring 200 delegates from across South and Central Asia together to discuss a wide range of issues, including regional economic integration, climate change and nuclear non-proliferation. 

Besides, this university-level United Nations simulation will increase participating student delegates’ leadership, conflict resolution and public speaking skills, the embassy said.

 “The US Embassy is proud to be part of this regional Model United Nations conference, which will bring together students from throughout South and Central Asia,” 

US Ambassador to Nepal Alaina B Teplitz said in the statement.
