SINGAPORE – Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will make an official visit to Brunei from Oct 9 to 10 as Singapore and Brunei mark 50 years of defence ties.
In Brunei, he will attend a joint parade featuring personnel and operational assets from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Royal Brunei Armed Forces with Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah on Oct 10, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said on Oct 8.
PM Wong and the Sultan will launch a commemorative gallery showcasing key milestones in the two countries’ defence relations, which were established in 1976. The Sultan will also host PM Wong for lunch.
During his third visit to Brunei as prime minister, PM Wong will witness the delivery of four Light Fire Attack Vehicles – more commonly known in Singapore as the Red Rhino – to the Brunei Fire and Rescue Department, which is under the country’s Ministry of Home Affairs.
The vehicles were developed by Singapore engineering firm Hope Technik and customised to meet Brunei’s operational requirements, the PMO said.
