In his keynote address, Mr. Chee Hong Tat emphasized Singapore’s welcoming attitude toward new immigrants.

The dinner atmosphere was lively, with toasts exchanged among Zhejiang entrepreneurs. The evening featured an exciting lucky draw segment, with Kweichow Moutai provided by the Chinese Baijiu Association (Singapore) as prizes.
