Nosheen Idrees, runner up 3 of Miss Pakistan World, represented Pakistan in Beijing, China for Miss Asia International 2008. The participation was an official one from Pakistan and this was the second time Pakistan got represented in the Asian beauty pageant. Nosheen Idrees hailing from Jhelum Pakistan stated that she was well received by the Chinese delegation and it was a wonderful experience for her. The organizing committee took all contestants to The Great Wall of China, along with other scenic places and landmarks like The Forbidden City in Beijing. The contestants were residing at the Jiuhu Hotel (5 star, international) in Beijing which is well known for servicing the 2008 Olympics in August 2008.
A student of communications at the University of Sheffield, Nosheen hopes to bring back a title that can put Pakistan as a country that has the most beautiful women in the world. In her own words, Nosheen says, "Pakistan is a country where the most beautiful women exist and it’s a shame that it’s not recognized for it." Nosheen is set to change the perception of how the world looks at Pakistan and hopefully she says that she may be able to spread the message of peace for her country and be a great ambassador for the youth. Nosheen also stated that the hospitality of the host country China was amazing and that she would love to go back for a visit some day.
The Miss Pakistan World will be crowning its new queen in June 2009 and selections of contestants are being made at the moment. With the completion of 5 international pageants this year, 2009 seems to be a promising year for the Miss Pakistan World beauty pageant.
