Brunei Darussalam and Singapore agreed to establish a training programme for civil servants from the Sultanate towards increasing their capacity and cooperation under relevant sectors, through work placements in government agencies of the republic. On expanding education cooperation, a scholarship will be introduced to open up opportunities for Brunei students with excellent performance to pursue studies from secondary level until higher education in Singapore.
