From October 21 to October 24, the 17th China National Model United Nations Conference was held online. It was hosted by the United Nations Association of China, organized by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and co-organized by the Department of International Organizations and Conferences of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China. Four NEFUers participated in the conference, among which Liu Daochun, from the School of Law and Humanities, won the award of "Outstanding Journalist" (the highest award in the Model Main Press Center). Attracting 319 participants from over 100 universities, the conference was one of the activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the lawful seat of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations.

Hu Wenli, Vice President and Director-General of the United Nations Association of China, Chen Kai, Counsellor of the Department of International Organizations and Conferences of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Shen Xiaorong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches. The UN Secretary-General Guterres said that the world is still in the midst of multiple crises caused by COVID-19 and it is the youth who play a leading role in promoting climate action, racial equality and gender equality in his congratulatory letter and speech video. He also stressed that the United Nations is a firm ally of all the youth and is ready to work with all parties to build a more sustainable and equitable world.

During the four-day conference, Liu Daochun, Zhao Hongyu, Wang Zeyu and Kang Xinyue took part in the general debates and draft resolution consultations on the two topics of "Promoting Equal Education Opportunities" and "Promoting Equal Vaccination Opportunities" at three model committees—the Main Press Center, the UNESCO and the WHO, demonstrating the professional demeanor and a strong sense of responsibility to both the country and the world of NEFUers with their excellent performance.

Liu Daochun took an active part at the Model Main Press Center, driving the conference at critical moments with a number of high-quality press releases, and contributing to the in-depth discussion on the topic of "Promoting Equal Education Opportunities", and won the unanimous praise of the judges as well as the award of "Outstanding Journalist".
