Who Are We?
Asian International Model United Nations (AIMUN) is an annual conference hosted by the School of International Studies, Peking University, organized by the Peking University Model United Nations Association. Since its inception in 2007, AIMUN has held 14 successful conferences and will be returning with its 15th edition in May 2023. As the largest and most influential collegiate international Model United Nations (Model UN) conference in China, AIMUN provides a valuable communication platform for youths sharing a common interest in international affairs to discuss a wide range of hot-button issues with delegates from diverse cultural backgrounds. In this process, we hope that delegates will be able to embrace the diversity of viewpoints and at the same time showcase the unique perspectives of Asia. In the coming year, AIMUN will remain committed to our goals, building on the good work of our predecessors and seeking to open up new prospects through innovation.
