Consulate in Sydney between 1962 and 1967.

Australia to explain the Japanese industrial experience to all
sections of the Australian community.

encourage informed debate on future directions for Australian

contribute to developing consensus in Australia on longer term
industry objectives and policies for structural adjustment..
