Hong Kong penetrated the top 15 in Miss International 2007 for the 3rd time after 22 years. Their last placement was in 1985 when Ellen Wong made the top 15. Grace Wong also won Miss Friendship, a title won by Hong Kong for 6 times already and 4th consecutive win too. Her win makes Hong Kong the nation to gather the most Miss Friendship awards at Miss International and the most congenial titles at any major international beauty pageant.
