Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – November 25, 2025 – In a vibrant celebration of diplomacy, debate, and youthful ambition, Yara International School proudly hosted the inaugural Yara Model United Nations (Yara MUN) 2025 from October 31 to November 1.

Distinguished guests included Chief Patron Mr. Habeebul Rahman, CEO Mr. Khalid Al Idrees, Principal Mrs. Aasima Saleem, and a host of school leaders, all gathered to witness the spark of future diplomacy ignite.
Over the course of the conference, delegates immersed themselves in dynamic simulations of the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) and the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

The conference culminated in a poignant Closing Ceremony, graced by His Excellency O.L. Ameer Ajwad, Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Saudi Arabia, accompanied by Madam Ambassador.
