MOFA Hosts Model United Nations Simulation

28th March, 2025, Nassau, The Bahamas. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in partnership with Rotary Bahamas, hosted the highly anticipated Model United Nations Simulation at the Holy Trinity Activities Centre in Stapeldon Gardens. Six schools, representing six nations, participated in the event, which marked the first MUNS since its hiatus in 2019. The event provided a platform for students to engage in diplomatic discussions and deepen their understanding of international relations.

After much debate, St. Augustine’s College, representing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, walked away with the much-sought-after trophy.  Congratulations to all of the participants and the winning delegation.
