Mock UN General Assembly to be held Saturday at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies

Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS) will host its 50th annual General Assembly, a mock United Nations event, on Saturday at its Seoul campus. The theme for this year's assembly is "International Standards of Economic Security and the Reconstruction of Global Supply Chains," and it will be held in Obama Hall, Minerva Complex.

The event is co-organized by the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy, the Korea Economic Research Institute, and the Korean Association of Trade and Industry Studies. The primary goal of the assembly is to discuss standards for economic security measures and methods to foster international cooperation as national interests surrounding global supply chains become increasingly complex.

Hwang Soo-hyun, the secretary-general of HIMUN and a student majoring in international studies, explained that global supply chains once built on economic efficiency are now being reshaped around national security, crisis response, and the protection of advanced industries.
