The main objective of the Chamber was to safeguard the interest of the Chinese Community in Mauritius consisting mainly of traders.
Our forefathers, the early pioneers of the Chinese grocery shops and of the credit system for consumers in Mauritius, had the wisdom and foresight to set up a Chamber of Commerce for the protection and promotion of their business interest, and to assist the arriving Chinese immigrants, promote Chinese culture, and help members of the Chinese Community in need of assistance as a result of old age, sickness or infirmity.
One of the first duties of the Chamber was to communicate, interpret and explain to its members Government legislation and regulations relating to the distributive trade. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce served as the intermediary between the Government and the Chinese Community, and has thus played an active role in the economic development of Mauritius.
