Founder and President of the Chefs’ Association of Pakistan (CAP), Ahmad Shafiq, extended formal invitations to presidents of national chefs’ associations and global culinary leaders for the upcoming Pakistan International Culinary Championship (PICC) 2026. The invitations were personally delivered during the Worldchefs Asia Presidents Forum 2025, held in Suzhou, China, marking a significant step in promoting Pakistan’s presence in the international culinary arena.

At the high-profile gathering of the world’s top chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality professionals, Ahmad Shafiq invited global culinary bodies to participate in PICC 2026, Pakistan’s premier international culinary competition. The event, organized annually by the Chefs’ Association of Pakistan, serves as a platform for chefs to showcase their skills, exchange knowledge, and celebrate the art of gastronomy under the standards of Worldchefs.

Through these invitations, CAP aims to strengthen global culinary relations and highlight Pakistan as a destination of culinary innovation, cultural diversity, and professional excellence. The Pakistan International Culinary Championship 2026 will feature a series of international categories, live cooking competitions, and exhibitions designed to promote global culinary collaboration and cross-cultural exchange.

The Worldchefs Asia Presidents Forum 2025, held alongside the 34th China Chefs Festival, provided the ideal international platform for this announcement, bringing together culinary leaders from across Asia and beyond. Ahmad Shafiq’s outreach reflects Pakistan’s growing role in global gastronomy and CAP’s ongoing mission to connect chefs worldwide through education, creativity, and shared passion for the culinary arts.
