Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) hosted a three-day international Model United Nations conference to promote diplomatic education, leadership skills and cooperation among university students.

The BUP International Model United Nations Conference 2026 (BUPIMUN 2026) ran from October 15 to 17, with its closing ceremony held at the university’s Shadhinota Auditorium on Saturday.

The conference was organised under the supervision of BUP’s Faculty of Security and Strategic Studies (FSSS) and the BUP Global Affairs Council.

Around 547 students and representatives from BUP and other universities across the country took part in the event, alongside 40 executive board members serving as judges.

Modelled on the proceedings of the United Nations, the conference provided participants with opportunities to develop leadership, negotiation and discussion skills, while broadening their understanding of global affairs.

The initiative aimed to strengthen relations among universities and foster connections between students through international diplomatic education and practical experience.

Senior BUP officials, faculty members, participants and invited guests attended the closing ceremony,
