The chief guest of the closing ceremony was Major General Md Mahbub-ul Alam, vice chancellor, Bangladesh University of Professionals, who delivered an inspiring speech about the importance of MUN conferences in promoting global cooperation and understanding.
The closing ceremony featured the much-awaited announcement of the winners of the Best Delegation Award and the Best Country Delegation Award, as per the rules of Integrated MUN. These awards are highly coveted by the participants, and the winners were announced amidst great applause and cheers from the audience.
Special guest of the event, Brigadier General Muhammad Ali Talukder, dean of the Faculty of Security and Strategic Studies, addressed the audience, emphasising the need for young people to be engaged in global issues and to take an active role in shaping the world's future.
The closing ceremony of BUPIMUN 2023 was a fitting end to a truly remarkable event.
