Pageantry

Miss CosmoWorld 2022

Shakirova shared her experiences leading up to Miss CosmoWorld 2022: [13] [14] [15] [16]

"It was very exciting for me, and at the same time, I was proud of my country, Uzbekistan. The judges of the competition included representatives from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Colombia, and Japan. After I made it to the top five, I started to get more excited because there were questions from the jury, which were crucial moments," she added. "In the near future, I want to bring the Miss CosmoWorld competition to Uzbekistan and prepare our Uzbek girls for world competitions. I think that a beauty pageant is not only a way to showcase oneself but also to introduce your country to the world, thereby attracting foreign tourists and investors. Thanks to this, the economy of our country will grow. Uzbekistan is my homeland."
