Its primary objective is to strengthen research niche areas, scholarship, and culture within the study domains of international studies and international business through scholarly and policy-based publications, seminars, and research and consultation projects. The AIIAD encourages open dialogues, thereby generating ideas and giving genuine understanding within a civil society forum, as well as facilitating the exchange of views between and among business leaders, academics, professionals, students, and the public. 

 Despite the size of the centre and its short span of existence, the AIIAD has successfully forged strategic partnerships with both the public and private agencies, together with regional research organizations, to enrich its research activities and expand shared knowledge. Among its various activities, include institutionalized forums, notably ambassadorial talks, intellectual discourse and round table events.
