Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry

With a history of more than 100 years, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) has been and still remains as one of the pivotal points of trade, business and relational contacts between Singapore and China. Long before the independence of both countries and formalisation of bilateral ties, the SCCCI, as an overseas-Chinese apex organisation, had journeyed alongside China through the tremulous first half of the 20th century. In 2010, SCCCI set up its Shanghai Representative Office to assist Singapore companies in their forays into the China market. With its consistent efforts over the years as an important communication platform linking Singapore and China, SCCCI has contributed significantly towards the strengthening of bilateral relations between the two countries.
