Looking back on the founding journey over the past four years, President Fang Zhizhong eloquently shared, "With the longstanding friendly relations between China and Singapore, the Putian people who have come to Singapore for development and rooted themselves here have increased. Among them are elites from various fields who have created brilliant careers locally. Based on this, I decided to establish the Singapore Putian Hometown Association, creating a platform of hometown sentiment, networking, cooperation, and development for both those who have already rooted themselves locally and those who have just arrived for development."After meticulous planning and preparation spanning three years and ten months, the Singapore Putian Hometown Association received approval from the Singapore Registry of Societies on December 19, 2019. Throughout the process, drawing on the valuable experiences of numerous associations and chambers and with the support of many dedicated individuals, I express heartfelt thanks on behalf of the advisory board and the board of directors.

President Fang also shared the vision and mission of the association, stating, "We will adapt to the continuous and close economic and trade exchanges between China and Singapore, strengthen cultural, economic, and technological exchanges between China, Singapore, and Putian, and create a mutually beneficial platform. We aim to foster friendship, harmonious development of associations, and make a significant contribution to the high-quality development of China-Singapore economic and trade relations.
