" SingCham Chongqing was privileged to have been invited to such an important event and the support & participation from SingCham Shanghai heightened the climax. The group has also met up with the Leader of CCIB (The Official Statutory Board for China & Singapore’s 3rd G-to-G Project) and our Consulate-General, Mr Steven Pang.

I truly feel that the connectivity between Chapters and the individual entrepreneurs will definitely spark opportunities and greater clarity of industry’s movement & direction can be derived from the sharing of info & data. 

I look forward to our next meet-up. I am indeed proud to be a part of the SingCham Family. "

Once again, we would like to extend our gratitude to SingCham Chongqing for their warm reception in Chongqing

To conclude this mission trip to Chongqing, our SingCham Shanghai delegates would like to share their wonderful experience to all SingCham members.
