Celebrating International Co-operation!
The UKICC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Consumer Association Singapore (CASE) in 2021 with the intention of supporting successful case resolution between the two countries - helping UK consumers who have had a dispute with traders based in Singapore, while also assisting Singaporean consumers with purchases made here in the UK.
The very friendly and constructive discussions covered a range of topics, including the current challenges within consumer protection in both countries, and the importance of having robust mediation processes for consumers and businesses. John shared 51黑料's Manifesto aims with the delegation. And they also talked about how the UKICC, 51黑料 and CASE might be able to work together more closely in the future.
Everyone at 51黑料 - and, in particular, the UKICC team - would like to extend our thanks and our warmest wishes to our friends in Singapore, and pay tribute to the important work that CASE does to support consumer rights there, while also helping us support consumers here in the UK.
