CAAR Activities

Council priorities for the year ending 30 June 2011 will include:

  • activities that promote Australia as a modern and sophisticated society and a competitive and high-quality destination for a range of interests that would include education, tourism, sporting activities and investment in those industries where Australia enjoys a strong international advantage
  • promoting and supporting exchanges by young professional and business leaders in Australia and the Arab world
  • annual visits by a CAAR delegation to a range of Arab countries, to identify potential for the region and opportunities for Australia
  • support for public diplomacy and cultural activities that showcase Australia as a diverse and dynamic society
  • other activities that encourage suitable commercial sponsorships for CAAR-supported projects
