Ngân said she felt surprised, happy and proud to win the title, after all the hard work and effort she put into preparing for the competition.
“I still feel as nervous as I was yesterday," Ngan wrote on her Facebook page. "I know I still have many shortcomings, so when representing Vietnam in the international competition, it was like a dream come true for me. Receiving the title of Miss Petite Global Asia 2024 is something I never thought would happen."
In addition to the title of Miss Petite Global Asia 2024, the Vietnamese representative was also in the top ten for national costumes and the top five for the best self-introduction videos.
