The beauty pageant organizers always find ways to avoid and deal with violations.

"Beauty contest organizers who violate the law always find ways to avoid and deal with authorities before, during and after the contest.

Therefore, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City must coordinate with relevant units such as the city police, local police and the Department of Culture and Sports of districts to handle the matter," Mr. Nguyen Tan Kiet informed when asked about the progress of handling violations of beauty contests in Ho Chi Minh City .

Accordingly, the Miss and Mister Universe World International 2023 contest, which will take place in Ho Chi Minh City on May 26, has not yet completed the procedures to request approval to be held in Ho Chi Minh City. The Inspectorate of the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City is coordinating with specialized departments and relevant agencies and units to inspect and handle the matter according to regulations.

However, Mr. Kiet said that for beauty contests whose organizers do not carry out procedures to request competent authorities to approve the organization of the contest, the process of handling violations will also encounter many difficulties, requiring time to verify and handle.
