The Singapore National Co-operative Federation (SNCF) welcomed a 31-member delegation from Thailand on 19 July 2019.
SNCF CEO and senior managers hosted the delegation which comprised Chairmen and co-operative leaders from agricultural, land settlement, fishery, saving and credit, service, consumer, and credit union co-operatives. CLT is the national apex organisation of co-operative movement in Thailand. It has been organising learning visits and training courses for its members for the past 13 years.
The Thai delegates were keen to learn about the co-operative movement in Singapore in terms of its management structure, and business performance especially in the consumer and financial sectors.
The healthy exchange during the Q&A session was lively and dynamic, with the delegates posing questions relating to co-operatives in Singapore like the operating environment, the type of support they received etc.
