        "content": "<p>Delegates from eight countries took part in Asia World Model United\nNations (AWMUN) XIV Maldives, held in the Maldives from 15 to 19 May\n2026. The event, organised by the international education organisation\nfocused on youth development, International Global Network (IGN),\nprovides a global stage for delegations to voice and act on current\nworld issues. AWMUN XIV features two councils. First, the World Health\nOrganization (WHO) with the topic \u201cPreventing the Spread of Communicable\nDiseases in Public Places\u201d for participants aged 11-14. Second, the\nUnited Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) with the topic \u201cFair Play:\nProtecting Political Rights and Preventing Arbitrary Detention During\nElectoral Processes\u201d for participants aged 15 and above. According to a\npress release received by Media Indonesia on Monday (18 May), in his\naddress, Muhammad Fahrizal, President of the International Global\nNetwork, stated that AWMUN is not merely a conference, but a stepping\nstone where brilliant ideas will be tested, confidence will be built,\nand the participants\u2019 journey toward a future on the global stage will\nbegin. In a speech by the President of the Maldives, read by the\nMaldives Minister of Youth and Sports, Abdulla Rafiu, it was conveyed\nthat leadership in the current era cannot walk alone, but must be built\non the basis of compassion and cooperation. He also urged all youths\npresent to take real action and not underestimate their own abilities to\neffect change. In addition, the Maldives Minister of Foreign Affairs,\nIruthisham Adam, who attended, stated that confidence and mutual trust\nare essential elements in the negotiation process. She stressed that\nsuch habits need to be built from an early age, starting in the\nclassroom, in daily conversations, and in international forums such as\nAWMUN. Furthermore, she noted that platforms like AWMUN not only build\nrelations and connections between countries but also serve as real\nsimulations of international diplomacy. Through this forum, participants\nlearn highly important skills that are rarely taught, namely the ability\nto disagree without belittling others, and the ability to listen\nempathetically. She argued that these skills are not merely conference\nabilities but part of 21st-century competencies essential for the youth.\nAWMUN has been officially registered with the National Achievement\nCentre (Puspresnas) under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research\nand Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, thereby strengthening\nacademic portfolios and relevant international experience in the\nadmission processes to leading universities as well as globally\nreputable professional institutions. IGN runs two flagship programmes,\nAsia World Model United Nations (AWMUN) and Asia Youth International\nModel United Nations (AYIMUN). IGN has also prepared the next\nconference, AYIMUN 21st, to be held on 26-29 June 2026 in Bangkok,\nThailand. These conferences offer young people worldwide the opportunity\nto develop soft skills and gain exposure to current global\ndevelopments.<\/p>",
