KUALA LUMPUR – The intimacy, cooperation and diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Brunei need to be further strengthened for both countries’ economic well-being, said Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.

The king expressed confidence that the bilateral flow of trade and investment could be further enhanced, with particular emphasis on business cooperation in the micro, small and medium enterprises sector.

"Al-Sultan Abdullah also expressed hope that Brunei could consider Malaysia's proposal to establish a Reciprocal Green Lane to revive economic activities of the two countries, following the impact of Covid-19," said Comptroller of the Royal Household Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin in a statement today.

According to Fadil, the Agong said this while granting a farewell audience to High Commissioner of Brunei to Malaysia Datuk Alaihuddin Mohd Taha and his wife, Datin Mariani Bongsu, at Istana Negara.

Also present was Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah. – Bernama, December 9, 2020
