The world’s most coveted beauty pageant, Miss World, will take place in India this year.
The official announcement was made by Julia Morley, Chairman of the Miss World Organisation, at a press conference in Delhi’s Oberoi hotel yesterday Thursday.
Representatives from 140 countries will be present in India over 30 days.
Speaking at the press conference, Miss World 2021 Karolina Bielawska said, “We are going to spend the entire month with 140 nations here in India. I believe that you have the greatest hospitality in the entire world it’s my second time here and you have always welcomed me with open arms. You made it feel like home.
“And also, India stands for the same values as Miss World. It represents diversity. I actually discovered that India shares core values like unity, respect, and kindness, something which I believe as well,” Bielawaska said.
The date and venue for Miss World 2023 will be announced in the upcoming months. Last year’s Miss World pageant, the 70th, took place at Puerto Rico’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum.
