Vietnam's Miss Earth rights-holder says Trinh My Anh has not been stripped of the Miss Earth Water 2025 title. The response followed the international organisation's October 3 announcement appointing Chile's Nathalie Briones to that title. The international notice did not directly name My Anh, while the Vietnamese representative offered an explanation involving an additional appointment. The statements should be distinguished and do not constitute a final conclusion jointly confirmed by both parties.
