Huong Giang to vie for Miss World title

Model Tran Thi Huong Giang will represent Vietnam at the Miss World 2009 Beauty Pageant to be held in South Africa from November 11 to December 12.

The Performing Arts Department said Friday that Giang will leave on November 6 for charity events in the UK before heading to South Africa’s Johannesburg city along with beauty queens from other countries.

Giang told Thanh Nien that she would “talk about the 1,000th year anniversary of Hanoi at the contest. I think this is a unique event as not many countries have a capital with such historical and cultural background.”

Standing 180 centimeters tall and measuring 86-61-92, the 22-year-old model won the Miss Hai Duong crown 2006 and was the second runner-up at the Miss Vietnam Global 2009.
