The long-running beauty contest's administrators revealed India would hold Miss World 2023 four months after naming the UAE as the pageant's host country.
In the presence of Miss World 2022 Karolina Bielawska from Poland, Miss India World 2022 Sini Shetty, and Julia Morley, chairwoman and chief executive of the Miss World Organisation, the announcement was made on Thursday during a press conference in New Delhi.

“The decision to award India with this prestigious honour recognizes the nation's rich cultural heritage, its commitment to promoting diversity, and its passion for empowering women,” the Miss World Organisation said in an Instagram post.
In February, the UAE was selected as the host nation. Morley declared in a since-deleted social media post that she was "delighted" to bring the pageant to the Emirates, making it the event's first trip to the Middle East in its seven-decade history.
The UAE has never been represented in the beauty competition.
