Military relations
Australia openly supports the United Arab Emirates during the Yemeni Civil War, shipping weapons and ammunitions to provide for Yemeni government's forces and the Saudi-led coalition, which led to criticism among public about Australia's involvement, given high civilian casualties.[2] An Australian retired general, Mike Hindmarsh, is also hired to command the Emirati troops during the war.[3]
Trade
The UAE is identified by Australia as its largest market in the Persian Gulf region. Шаблон:Citation needed As of 2008–09, trade between the UAE and Australia was valued to A$5.5 billion. Of this, Australian exports to the UAE were A$3.6 billion, while UAE exports to Australia were A$1.9 billion (including crude petroleum imports worth A$1.7 billion).
Education
The majority of Emiratis residing in Australia are students pursuing education in various Australian universities. Australia is a popular destination to which Emirati students have turned for higher education,[4] with enrolments increasing over the years.[5][6] As of 2013, there were up to 1,700 Emirati students in Australia.[7][8][9] In that same year, there were over 900 Emirati student enrolments for Australia.[10] Many of them are on UAE government scholarships and pursuing postgraduate or PhD degrees. They are concentrated in large cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.[8] In addition, around 14,000 Emiratis also visit Australia each year for tourism. Migration is made easier by relaxed visa requirements and the extensive aviation links between both countries.[11][7]
