Brunei envoy highlights importance of direct air connectivity with Bangladesh

Brunei Darussalam Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah will visit Bangladesh on October 14-16, 2022. The High Commissioner of Brunei Darussalam to Dhaka Haji Haris Bin Othman said this while speaking to the press at the High Commission in the capital yesterday.

It will be the first-ever state visit by the Sultan of Brunei to Bangladesh, and plans are underway for the state visit, where the Brunei Sultan will hold meetings with the Honourable President Md Abdul Hamid and the Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina while attending some other programmes in the capital.

In April 2019, the Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made a historic visit to Brunei Darussalam, which marked a new milestone where both countries had signed several MOUs for various cooperation, including on sectors like gas supply, fisheries, agriculture, livestock, youth and sports, and art and culture. The High Commissioner expects a few more other MOUs will be signed during His Majesty’s coming state visit.

The High Commissioner of Brunei Darussalam mentioned that currently, roughly, there may be around 15 thousand Bangladeshi workers in Brunei. He added that the country welcomes foreign workers to work in Brunei, including Bangladeshis, as long as the recruitment process is executed correctly and they have valid visas and work permits.

The High Commissioner gathered that Bangladesh tourists travel to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia not only for leisure and adventure but also for medication. Therefore, he understands that there is a need for direct air connectivity between the two countries to boost tourism and trade, and Bangladesh tourists are most welcome to Brunei.

His Majesty’s state visit will be a new chapter in the history of both countries, further strengthening the bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries.
