An Australian Diplomat in the Arab World: Book Launch | Dr Bob Bowker
Bob Bowker will discuss his recently published memoirs, Tomorrow There will be Apricots: An Australian Diplomat in the Arab World, addressing the challenges, professional and personal, of representing Australia and pursuing Australia's interests in the Middle East. He will provide his reflections on the major issues facing the region, and outline the lessons and insights he gained over 50 years of working in and on the Arab world as an Australian diplomat, official, intelligence analyst, academic and company director.
Bob Bowker's career included liaison with the PLO in Damascus and leading the first Australian official meeting with Yasser Arafat; and responding, as ambassador in Jordan, to the consular consequences of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. He dealt with crises in the live sheep trade. He led responses to consular events in Egypt ranging from bombings to a major bus crash. A long-standing advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he now supports a settlement for the conflict on the basis of a single state providing equality for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
