The fifth edition of Miss Asia Pacific International pageant i.e., Miss Asia Pacific International 2020, was scheduled to be held in the month of October 2020 where the delegates from all over the world would compete for the title. Miss Asia Pacific International 2019 Chaiyenne Huisman from Spain would have crowned her successor at the event finale.

But, just few hours ago, the Miss Asia Pacific International organization have issued a statement which states that the organization has decided to postponed the coronation ceremony until further notice due to the outbreak of the pandemic in the world. The organization stated, “With this in mind, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that the staging of Miss Asia Pacific International 2020 is suspended until further notice. This was very difficult to make, but we deem the safety or our staff, our candidates, our partners, and our supporters of utmost priority and importance.”

The organization has also mentioned that the postponing of the pageant does not mean that the duties of the beauty queens will come to a halt. They will carry on with their advocacies and inspire everyone across the world. “Celebrating beauty in diversity, including its power to uplift our indomitable spirit in this time of need, transcends beyond our pageant’s season events. We are with you in this global fight against our collective invisible enemy and we will come out of this stronger than ever.”

Miss Asia Pacific International organization also arranged a donation drive to help the front liners facing the Covid-19 in Philippines, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the United States sometime back. The organization has extended their gratitude towards the people who are tirelessly helping the public to stay safe and secure at the time of outbreak of the pandemic. They have also extended their gratitude to the media partners and partners for their trust and support and stated that they look forward to the exciting collaborations in future.
