Since the establishment of Miss Grand International, Pakistan participated only four times; in 2013 – 2014 and 2021–2022, and all of its representatives are Overseas Pakistanis.[3][6][7]
Pakistan debuted at Miss Grand International in 2013 when the winner of a Pakistani Toronto-based pageant Miss Pakistan World, Shanzay Hayat, was assigned by the director Sonia Ahmed to represent Pakistan at the Miss Grand International 2013 pageant in Thailand,[8] and she managed to be placed among the final-20 candidates.[5] The following representative, Laila Khan Niazi, was also appointed; no national pageant was held specifically to select the Miss Grand titleholder.[9]
After six consecutive years of absence from 2016 to 2020, the license of Miss Grand Pakistan for 2021–2022 was purchased by Hiam Amani Hafizuddin,[10] founder of an Illinois-based Bangladeshi pageant, Miss Bangladesh USA.[11] During such a period, Hiam was also the licensee of Miss Grand Bangladesh;[10] however, all Pakistani and Bangladeshi representatives sent by her were appointed.[11][12][13]
