Amidst the lush premises of one of Sydney’s
five-star hotel chains, The Australian Business Summit Council Inc. hosted a
Who’s Who of business leaders, diplomats and politicians at the 2022 ABSC Inc.
Annual Gala Dinner on 5th May 2022 to formally launch the third issue of
EKONOMOS, the annual business affairs magazine published by this leading
management consulting forum.
ABSC Inc. president for the fourth
consecutive year, Dr. Frank Alafaci welcomed more than one hundred VIP guests
and other persons to this signature event at The Langham, Sydney, including the
Ambassador of Turkey, the High Commissioner of Pakistan Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri,
the High Commissioner of Bangladesh, the Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy
of Ukraine, the Consuls General of Spain, Austria, Poland, India, Chile,
Indonesia, Bangladesh and Turkey, the NSW Minister for Multiculturalism and
Seniors, and the state Shadow Minister for Small Business, Multiculturalism and
Property.
Since its registration as an incorporated association at New
South Wales Fair Trading in late 2018, the ABSC Inc. has served the needs and
requirements for Australian businesses to expand, increase profitability, and
maximise expectations.
Under its charter, the ABSC Inc. seeks to
promote the bona fide rights of Australian businesses by enhancing Australian
entrepreneurship in the domestic market and across the international community.
Pursuant to this, the Australian Business Summit Council Inc. acts as an
intellectual mouthpiece for debates about effective business policies and
practices that stimulate a vibrant, sustainable and competitive economic
environment with lucrative capabilities for Australian businesses.
ABSC Inc.’s e-newsletter, The Rotator
(re-emerging from hibernation during the worst period of the COVID-19 pandemic)
pitches to the general and specialised reading public alike, featuring incisive
views, opinions, suggestions and solutions to safeguard the Australian economy
as a mature, dynamic and sustainable commercial environment and engender trade
and investment possibilities with our known regional trading partners and
untapped extra-regional import and export markets.
EKONOMOS, the ABSC
Inc.’s annual business affairs magazine, presents well-written reports and
penetrating appraisals of the current business trends and forces that impact on
economic growth by authoritative expert figures in the fields of finance,
trade, investment, politics and diplomacy drawn from the Australian and
international communities.
As an evident Greek-sounding play on the
English term that denotes the study of the distribution of wealth and income,
EKONOMOS Issue 3, 2022 comprises fourteen article contributions by the ABSC
Inc. president Dr. Frank Alafaci; H.E. Mr. Shingo Yamagami (Ambassador of
Japan);H.E. Dr. Mykola Kulinich (former Ambassador of Ukraine); H.E. Mrs.

Australia); Mr. Schon Condon (Managing Principal, Condon Advisory Group); Mr.
Art Phillips (Founder / Director, 101 Music Pty Ltd); and Mr. Stephen Parker
(Director / Digital Transformation Specialist, 1Vision OT).
One evident measure of the ABSC Inc.’s
reputation is the high calibre of corporate, SME and individual members, and
the gold, silver and bronze sponsors whose generous financial assistance
towards the recent Annual Gala Dinner and the publication of EKONOMOS Issue 3,
2022 was formally recognized with the conferral of acknowledgement awards to
Mrs. Sylvia Alafaci (ABSC Inc. secretary, as the gold sponsor), Mr. Wei Li
(CEO, Swan Wine Group, as the silver sponsor), Mr. Rouad El Ayoubi (Founding
Director, Alliance Project Group and ABSC Inc. vice-president as a bronze
sponsor), and Ms. Asther Lam (on behalf of the Executive Director of the

another bronze sponsor).
Heading the eminent VIP speakers at the 2022 ABSC
Inc. Annual Gala Dinner, the Ambassador of Turkey, H. E Mr. Korhan Karakoc and
the High Commissioner of Bangladesh, H.E. Mr. Mohammad Sufiur Rahman joined
