Students were divided into three mixed-nationality teams representing the three governments with an aim to provide participants chances to think and understand perspectives of the other nations.
For the three days of 24th to 26th, the teams hold preparatory meetings for the Model Trilateral Summit, divided into three committees of environment, economy and culture. Throughout the meetings, 3 students representing the TCS recorded the progress of the discussion.
