Council for Australian-Arab Relations
The Council for Australian-Arab Relations seeks to strengthen Australian-Arab relations by advancing areas of shared political, economic and social interest and building a greater awareness and appreciation of each other's cultures and values.
The objectives of the Council for Australian-Arab Relations (CAAR) are to:
- empower the peoples of Australia and the Arab world to develop a holistic and contemporary mutual understanding;
- support positive and collaborative relationships between Australia’s Arab diaspora communities and the broader Australian community; and
- support activities that encourage increased trade and investment between the two regions.
The Council supports innovative projects that have clear outcomes, whose benefits are spread as widely as possible, and which lead to greater mutual understanding and cooperation between Australia and the Arab world, on an individual or institutional level. The Council has a special focus on assisting the initiation of activities that are likely to prove self-sustaining.
To achieve our objectives, the Council concentrates its efforts on projects that align with one of our Priority Sectors for 2017 in Sports and Fashion or projects that align with one of our Flagship Programs.
