The Department of Performing Arts under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism approved model Chung Thuc Quyen to compete at Miss International 2010 in Chengdu, China from October 21. The crowning night will take place at Sichuan Province Gymnasium in the night of November 7.

The 23-year-old is working with designers to make her wardrobe for the event. All her evening gowns will be sponsored by designer Quynh Paris and her national costumes will be designed by Thuan Viet who created her winning national costume outfit at Miss Supernational pageant in 2009.

Chung Thuc Quyen and ladies from 80 countries and territories will take part in training courses and charity activities in China.

This year the beauty contest marks its 50th anniversary. The winner will become the Ambassador of Peace and Beauty.

Miss International began in 1960 in Long Beach, California, where it was staged until 1967, before moving to Japan from 1968-1970 to commemorate the Osaka World Expo.

Part of the pageant asks entrants to participate in regional exchange activities such as the Miss International Forum, charity events and environmental campaigns.
