How can the UN keep pace with and take advantage of the latest developments while ensuring stability and reliability?

Celeste Arhire

Hello, everyone! My name is Celeste and it brings me great joy to be one of the chairpersons of the Administrative & Budgetary Committee. I am a junior at CNER in Iași and some of my favourite pastimes include reading contemporary literature, brewing tea and running. I wish that you will come to share my fondness for this committee and economics while debating the intriguing topic at hand. Hopefully, you will thoroughly enjoy this conference as I am more than eager to meet you all in April!
