Founded in March 2000, The Singapore-Russia Connection has served as a
bridge between Russia and Singapore, bringing two peoples closer
together in friendship and cultural understanding. It is upon this
strong networking philosophy, The Singapore-Russia Connection is
seeking to encourage individuals and organizations to get involved in bridging the gap
between two nations.
The
Singapore-Russia Connection brings Singapore and Russia together via a
network of people and organizations in order to forge better understanding and exchange of
cultures, ideas and business matters.
