CUMUN 2026

For the tenth consecutive year, the Chittagong University Model United Nations Association brought together some of Bangladesh's brightest young minds for four days of diplomacy, debate, and deliberation. Held from January 28–31, 2026 on the campus of the University of Chittagong, the 10th edition of CUMUN marked a decade since CUMUNA first opened its committee chambers in 2015.

This year's conference drew over 400 delegates from approximately 40 institutions across Bangladesh — including the University of Dhaka, Jahangirnagar University, and Rajshahi University — alongside international participants from Africa, Afghanistan, Nepal, Malaysia, and beyond. Across four days, delegates representing countries from around the world engaged in rigorous diplomatic simulation across 10 committees, guided by the year's theme: "Reconfiguring Urban Governance and Socio-Spatial Justice through Transnational Cooperation."

At its core, CUMUN 2026 asked a generation of young leaders to confront the most consequential question of our urbanising world: who shapes our cities, and for whom? The answers — debated, challenged, and negotiated across committee chambers — reflected both the urgency of that question and the quality of those who took it on.

The conference was organised by a Secretariat Board of 100 members, a testament to the scale and ambition that has come to define CUMUN in its decennial year.
