Chinese President Xi Jinping recently held talks with Brunei's Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah in Beijing, further cementing the long-standing friendship between the two nations.
Over the past 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and Brunei have deepened their political trust and actively synergized their development strategies. This collaboration has led to fruitful cooperation across various fields, including business, technology, and international affairs.
President Xi emphasized that the partnership between China and Brunei serves as a model for mutual benefit and win-win results, contributing positively to regional peace, stability, and prosperity. He highlighted the importance of building a China-Brunei community with a shared future, aligning with both countries' fundamental interests and the current global development trends.
The discussions focused on enhancing cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative alongside Brunei's 2035 Vision. China expressed its willingness to encourage more enterprises to invest in Brunei, particularly in the digital economy, artificial intelligence, and new energy industries, aiming to support Brunei's economic diversification.
Additionally, President Xi pledged support for hybrid rice research collaboration and invited Brunei to leverage platforms like the China International Import Expo and China-ASEAN Expo to expand its exports of high-quality agricultural and fishery products to China.
Both nations aim to deepen people-to-people exchanges, enhance cooperation in education, culture, tourism, and sports, and work together towards a multipolar world and inclusive economic globalization. This partnership underscores their commitment to safeguarding international fairness and justice while promoting peace and stability in the region.
