The UAE national team bagged the top spot in the International Competition held at the Dubai World Hospitality Championship last week.

Majid Al Marri, director of the international competition and hospitality sector competition of the DWHC, praised the successful culmination of the International Competition. Al Marri commended the efforts of the 12 national teams in preparing and cooking for a table that accommodated 40 people.

Amro Yassin, manager of the Syrian team, said: “The Syrian team was honoured to participate for the first time in DWHC, which is considered one of the leading events for hospitality and cooking industries in the region. Our involvement here follows our successful participation in China, where we won a gold medal. The team comprises a group of Dubai-based Syrian residents. We impressed the audience with culinary innovations inspired from traditional Syrian dishes and we believe that the second cycle of DWHC has surpassed the success of its first cycle.”

Tahani Al Ghamis, Manager, Kuwaiti Team, said: “This is our first participation as Kuwaitis in DWHC and we had the great honour of competing with other Arab and Gulf teams in a fair environment. We were well-prepared for the event, where we offered a variety of traditional Kuwaiti dishes which are an integral part of our culinary cultural heritage. We are sure that we gave a good performance, befitting to win the title in the International Competition.” – TradeArabia News Service
