As the copyright holder and representative of Sen Vang Entertainment Joint Stock Company, Ms. Pham Kim Dung said: “In line with our initial criteria, international beauty contests will be an opportunity as well as an experience for domestic beauties to hone their skills, exchange and learn from international contestants. Vietnamese representatives will have the opportunity to approach and learn about international rounds and professional conduct to convey and share with international contestants in the following years. Continuously sending contestants to participate in international competitions is also a step forward, contributing to raising the position of Vietnam on the world beauty map.”
