Dear Delegates, Faculty Advisors, Staff and Partners,

It is with profound honor that we welcome you to the 15th Anniversary Edition of the Rhodes Model Regional Co-operation (RhodesMRC) 2025. For the past decade and a half, this conference has grown exponentially into a forum for dialogue and diplomacy and has become a beacon of regional cooperation. This year is a milestone, because we are not only celebrating our grandiose legacy, but also looking towards an ever-brighter future.

What better place to assume the role of diplomats, policymakers and regional leaders than the historical crossroads of civilizations that is the breathtaking island of Rhodes? With a robust agenda covering the contemporary geopolitical rifts, economic fluctuations and security concerns, you are guaranteed to engage in high-level debates, navigate complex negotiations, broaden your communication and diplomacy skills and come up with inspiring and innovative solutions to the pressing global and regional issues.

We call upon your hearty, open, aspiring, curious and determined spirit to join us in the majestic journey of RhodesMRC, with a promise that the friendships you forge, the lessons you learn, and the perspectives you gain will stay with you long after the conference ends.

On behalf of the Secretariat and the Board of RhodesMRC 2025, we are whole-heartedly extending our warmest welcome to you, and we are eagerly anticipating to see you in Rhodes!

Kindest Regards,

Konstantinos Oikonomou
Secretary General
