Alejandro Marin

Greetings delegates,


It is with great pleasure that I would like to extend to you a warm welcome to the seventeenth edition of the Barranquilla Model United Nations. I am Alejandro Marin, and I will be presiding over the Joint Crisis: G-20 Committee alongside my Co-President Juliana Del Toro.


In this committee, it’s our duty and responsibility to solve conflicts that are constantly growing, so we expect no less than your full commitment and utmost dedication to the debate and the matters discussed in it. This committee will be of fast development, so be prepared to accurately represent your country in the topics managed throughout the sessions.


If you have any doubts regarding the committee or the model, don't hesitate to contact me through my e-mail marin.alejandro@marymountbq.edu.co, and I will be glad to answer any of your inquiries.


Remember, we will allow fear to control the world when the flame of hope inside all of us extinguishes, so let's be the ones who ignite that spark inside those who have lost all hope.


Best regards,

Alejandro Marín
