MUNRFE officials met with United Nations Department of Public Information staff
In course of their business trip to Moscow and New York, MUNRFE Governing Council Chairperson Mr. Vitaly Savenkov and Vladivostok Club Vice-President Ms. Alexandra Kosyreva had an opportunity to broaden MUNRFE connections with the United Nations Department of Public Information.
On 5 February Mr. Vitaly Savenkov visited the United Nations Information Centre in Moscow, where he had a meeting with its Director Mr. Vladimir Kuznetsov, along with UNIC National Information Officer Mr. Vladimir Pavinskiy, UNIC Team Assistant Ms. Irina Gadzhieva and Churkin International Model UN representative Mr. Akop Torosyan. The parties had extensive negotiations about promotion of the UN-related activities on the territory of Russia, including the Russian Far East, and cooperation in the sphere of Model UN. Overall, both MUNRFE and UNIC expressed sincere interest in activities of each other, thus the actual cooperation is expected to begin later this year.
The next day Ms. Kosyreva joined Mr. Savenkov for a meeting with UN DPI Associate Public Information Officer Ms. Antje Watermann at the UN Headquarters in New York. Despite the meeting was short in duration, it resulted in better understanding of UN DPI’s vision on cooperation with Model UN communities for MUNRFE. As an early implementer and pioneer of the UN4MUN approach in Russia, MUNRFE has been passionate to involve as many partners is possible, but primarily the United Nations itself. That is why such meetings are extremely important to ensure MUNRFE is on the same page with the United Nations.
