Biryani is by far the most favorite dish of Pakistanis and now it has made its way to Morocco and they are also in love with this exotic spicy dish and we are not surprised.
The embassy, in collaboration with Pakistan Morocco Joint Business Council (PMJBC), organized a biryani festival in the capital of Morocco Rabat. The event was aimed at introducing the people of Morocco to Pakistani rice and spices, and also creating a soft image of the country as a tourism destination.
Hosted by Pakistan’s Ambassador to Morocco, Hamid Asghar Khan, the festival was attended by the business personalities from both countries. Chairman PMJBC and the Honorary Consul General of Morocco, Ishtiaq Baig, led a delegation of 25 top businessmen from Karachi. Among the other guests were the vice-chairman of the Moroccan Parliament, members of the National Assembly, rice buyers, and restaurant/hotel operators.
Pakistani chef Gulzar Hussain along with his team went to attend the event. He served four different types of Biryanis – prawn biryani, mutton biryani, vegetable biryani, and chicken biryani. The festival was the first event held under the plan of Engage Africa Policy. Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced the policy last week.
Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Khan highlighted that the event was organized to facilitate the private sector and drive active engagement for the trade policy.
