The RSC and the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC) have declared their agreement to cooperate for the establishment of a continuous communication and exchange in the field of chemistry and related areas of knowledge for the benefit of both the Singapore and United Kingdom [UK] chemical communities.

The international cooperation agreement was signed on 14 February 2007 in Singapore. Andy Hor (SNIC President) and Simon Campbell (RSC past President), signed the agreement in the presence of local Singapore chemists, SNIC council members and local RSC members. The UK's acting High Commissioner David Campbell and Science Attache Brian Ferrar were also present.

• Knowledge of and participation at scientific meetings, organized under the sponsorships of SNIC and / or RSC, of Singapore and UK chemists in both countries
  
  
• Scientific cooperation through common scientific, educational and / or social projects between Singapore and UK chemists
  
  
• Joint sponsorship and / or organization of scientific, educational and / or social events for scientific exchange and the promotion of public awareness of chemistry and related areas in both Singapore and UK
