The Britain Brunei Business Forum hosted a networking session on Friday, while welcoming the new British High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam Alexandra McKenzie.
During the session, business leaders, forum members and guests discussed opportunities for strengthening business ties between the United Kingdom and Brunei Darussalam.
BBBF Chair Pengiran Aki bin Pengiran Haji Ibrahim expressed enthusiasm for the opportunities the high commissioner’s leadership will bring, especially as this year marks the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
The theme of the evening, “Priorities, Partnerships, and Prospects,” was highlighted as time, with discussions focused on the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and its impact on Brunei, along with trade, defence, education, sustainability, culture, and the UK-Brunei Green Economy Report. – Lyna Mohamad
