After a brief introduction of CIREA, Dr. CHAI expressed CIREA’s desire to
connect and network with similar organizations within FIG particularly those
with responsibilities in the area of property taxation, housing and real
estate policies. Dr. CHAI and President TEO also discussed the current level
of membership fees as well as benefits of membership and in this regard,
CIREA is encouraged to tap the knowledge bank within FIG, in particular the
extensive publications and have it translated into Chinese for the benefit
of its membership and the wider audience within PR China. CIREA is also
encouraged to actively participate in FIG activities, in particular those
that are related to the practices and responsibilities of its membership.
During the lunch meeting, President SONG and President TEO explored

activities and President SONG reiterated CIREA’s desire and willingness to
host commission level symposiums and workshops in China as part of its
effort to further develop the profession, provide exposure for its
