This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to further enhance the good business relationship between Australia and the Arab world …

President Joe Khattar

We as an Australian Lebanese Chamber of Commerce, together with our very close associates in the NSW Business Chamber, stand ready, as we have always done, to play our part in strengthening that relationship …

We strongly believe that Australia should have a much more effective role in the region as a whole, simply because we have a lot to offer in both products and services and the will to transact with our Middle Eastern counterparts …

We also encourage those of the Australian business community that have never visited the region and have never done business with the Arab world to pay a visit to those countries and to evaluate the potential that does exist in the region …
