Miss Asia Pacific International organization, owing to the rampant spread of covid-19 and regulations made due to it, has made the decision of further postponing the upcoming edition to keep the safety of delegates as the ultimate priority.

The organization took to their official social media as they wrote, “We believe that in a global health crisis, we are only as strong as our most vulnerable. It takes extreme prudence in prioritizing what matters, a decision that proves to be more and more difficult everyday.”

“As much as our hearts desire to open the stage again to the inspiring diversity advocates awaiting the pageant, it is with deep sadness that we have to further postpone the staging of Miss Asia Pacific International this year. It is one of the toughest decisions we have had to make, but at the end of the day, the safety of our staff, our candidates and their respective countries, our partners and our supporters takes ultimate priority”, the statement said.

The organization also apologized to the expectant candidates, media friends, partners and most importantly the fans. They also promised to champion the shared advocacy through dynamic content and initiatives till they can host an edition on stage.
