SINGAPORE: Singapore and Brunei are working together to strengthen their resilience in an uncertain climate, Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said on Thursday (Aug 25).
Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah concluded his state visit to Singapore on Thursday. His visit was an "excellent occasion for both countries to also build on our traditional pillars of cooperation, including defence and finance", said MFA.
During the sultan's trip, both countries discussed ways to expand bilateral cooperation in the areas of food and medical supply resilience, energy, and the green economy.
Singapore and Brunei agencies signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) during the visit. The countries agreed to deepen cooperation in the areas of energy, the green economy, and food and medical supply resilience, said the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).
"The signing of the two MOUs to strengthen bilateral cooperation in energy, the green economy, and food and medical supply resilience signals our mutual interest in steering our countries towards a more sustainable and resilient future," said Singapore's Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong.
"Singapore will continue to partner Brunei, with whom we share a special friendship, to explore areas of cooperation that will better prepare us for the future."
The sultan also visited Sembawang Air Base, hosted by Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen. Also present at the visit were Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong, Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Melvyn Ong and Chief of Air Force Major-General Kelvin Khong.
The sultan was briefed on the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and took a flight on board an RSAF H225M medium lift helicopter. He also viewed a static display of the Aster 30 Missile System, said the Defence Ministry.
"The state visit reaffirmed the special and longstanding relationship between Singapore and Brunei," said MFA.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife visited Brunei in July to attend the sultan's 76th birthday celebrations. During their visit, Mr Lee and Mrs Lee were conferred state honours.
