In the Futuristic Special Convention, the delegates of United States and China debated on the threat of World War III.

It was an exhilarating experience for all the participants as they took the role of ambassadors of different countries. They learnt the workings of the UNO and about the issues facing the world. It taught them to be diplomatic while at the same time safeguarding the peace of the world.�
After the day concluded, Pranshu Kumar, secretary general, said, �The aim of any committee in an MUN is to reach a solution by passing a resolution on the problem.
