The young man from Ben Tre won 4th Runner-up at the Mr. Peace International competition.

Nguyen Vu Linh said that although he felt a little regretful for not winning the top prize, he was satisfied with the result. When his name was announced as the 4th runner-up, he was moved to tears. His emotion stemmed from the happiness he felt about the achievement after a series of strenuous and stressful training days. "I am fortunate to have been energized by the support of the audience back home and friends around the world. The runner-up title will help me feel more responsible for community and social activities in the future," Vu Linh said.

The winner of the competition was the contestant from Switzerland. The titles of first, second, and third runner-up went to the contestants from the Philippines, Singapore, and Trinidad and Tobago, respectively.
