I am grateful to my family, friends, and everyone in Vietnam who supported me. I was very conscious of my skills, clothes, and how I would express myself, and I worked hard to become the first person in Vietnam’s history to win first place. As Miss International 2024, I would like to continue to make efforts. Also, even from Japan, I was able to feel the warm support of the Vietnamese fans, and I am very happy that I was able to respond to this support. The Japanese people looked after us warmly, and I was very moved by the Japanese hospitality. I want to bring this culture to my country.

International, whose official name is “Miss International Beauty Pageant,” was born in the United States in 1960. For the first seven years, the event was held in the United States, but in commemoration of the Japan World’s Fair (1970, Osaka), hosting rights were transferred to Japan. The aim of Miss International is not just to compete for external beauty, but also to achieve world peace by promoting mutual understanding between countries through international exchange, friendship, and social contribution activities in the host country. We also hope that the actions of the women who took on the challenge of the global competition will lead to their own growth and the courage and challenge of many women, and we hope that the competition will be “CHEER ALL WOMEN ~Supporting all women~” I am. The World Congress, in which representatives from each country and region gather together as “goodwill ambassadors of beauty and peace,” aims to send out “prayer for peace” to the world and also to highlight the greatness of Japan, the host country. It is held every year. In addition, at Miss International, contestants engage in international exchange activities at various levels. Through social contribution activities such as the Greening Promotion Campaign, the Miss International Forum, and charity events, we are deepening friendships between Japan and countries around the world. ・”Miss International” official website: https://www.miss-international.org/ ・”Miss International” Official YouTube:
