On 5th March 2016, TYT Ambassador Dato’ Abdul Samad Othman was invited to deliver a speech at the 7th Rome Model United Nations at The Libera Università Internazionale Degli Studi Sociali "Guido Carli" (LUISS University). This event is held annually and was attended by more than 1000 students from all over the globe. TYT Ambassador was invited as Malaysia is a non-permanent member of the United Nation Security Council.
TYT Ambassador spoke on ‘The Syrian Crisis regarding the Islamic State and the Need for Creating a Solution Before 2017’ in the UN Security Council Committee session. The discussions replicated the UN Security Council set-up and consisted of 30 students representing 15 Security Council members. The session was an interactive as students posed questions on the roles and functions of an Ambassador and the effectiveness of UN Security Council in promoting peace around the world.
