CLAIR Singapore was set up in 1990 to support and promote international activities and friendly relations between local governments in Japan and their counterparts in Singapore and other ASEAN countries. CLAIR Singapore assists with research and study visits as well as with the tours for exchange programmes. We coordinate visits, arrange appointments, and provide background information for many Japanese groups of local governments visiting Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.     International Cooperation Activities We consider it important to provide an opportunity for discussion on issues faced by local government officials and experts of ASEAN countries, and to exchange boundless range of information, opinions and administrative experiences.     Research & Information CLAIR Singapore is involved in the study of the administrative systems of ASEAN countries, specifically their local administrative, financial and tax systems.
