Bandar Sri Bhagwan: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived here today on a historic two-day visit to Brunei, he was given a grand welcome by Brunei's Crown Prince Abu Muhannadi Bilar at the airport. The Prime Minister was also given a guard of honour.
It is natural that Brunei is moving closer to India under the 'shadow' of China.
The talks between the two leaders took place after the Prime Minister arrived here and was welcomed by the Sultan of this prosperous country Hass-al-Bolkiyar at the Istana Nurub Iman Palace, the richest palace in the world.
The Sultan's palace with 22 carat gold fittings is the largest and richest palace in the world. There are five swimming pools. There are 1700 bedrooms, 257 bathrooms. There are 110 garages. The Sultan also has a private 'zoo'. It also has Bengal-tigers. There are many different animals and birds.
After meeting the Sultan, the Prime Minister wrote on 'T', “It was a great pleasure to meet His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassan al-Boulkiyar. Our talks were wide-ranging and also discussed strengthening relations between the two countries. We discussed developing business ties and developing trade relations and increasing people-to-people contacts.
It is noteworthy that the success of the Prime Minister's visit to Brunei confirms the success of India's 'Act-East' policy and reflects the success of the Indo-Pacific policy.
After this meeting, the Sultan hosted a banquet for Prime Minister Modi on a grand table that could accommodate 5000 guests.
In the evening, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new building of the Embassy here, during which the citizens of the Indian community in Brunei were also present. The list of the Ministry of External Affairs has been given because the Prime Minister had a frank conversation with them.
