AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Brunei Cabinet & succession planning: Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has announced a major cabinet reshuffle, appointing Prince Abdul Mateen as foreign minister and Prince Abdul Malik as minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, with the changes widely read as preparing the next generation of leadership. Underwater security cooperation: Brunei is among 17 countries that launched the GUIDE initiative in Singapore to protect critical underwater cables and energy links, aiming to share principles and strengthen regional response to undersea threats. Regional defence ties: The same undersea-security push comes as Nordic and Southeast Asian partners expand practical cooperation to keep vital infrastructure resilient across borders. Sports tourism in Brunei’s neighbourhood: Labuan is set to host its first-ever international 42km full marathon during the Pearl of Borneo Marathon 2026, with runners from 16 countries including Brunei. Regional spotlight for Brunei audiences: China’s hit drama “Dear You” is scheduled for theatrical release in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei on June 18, as the summer box office slate rolls out with 60+ films. Local community events: Miri’s RIUH OOH! festival (July 24–26) is expected to draw 30,000 visitors, with organisers specifically targeting Brunei arrivals.
