Senior government and industry leaders from Australia and Brunei Darussalam
gathered yesterday for the Australia-Brunei Business Forum and Networking Event,
underscoring both nations' shared commitment to food security and economic
growth.
Co-hosted by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and the
Ministry of Finance and Economy, the forum formed part of the 2025 Australian
Strategic Agribusiness Partnership Mission to Brunei. The event aimed to deepen
commercial ties and explore new opportunities across the agrifood sector.
Guest of Honour Minister at the Prime Minister's Office and Minister of Finance and
Economy II Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Haji Mohd Amin Liew bin Abdullah, opened
the forum. In his remarks, he emphasised the importance of strong, reliable
partnerships amid global uncertainties.
"To navigate these uncertain times, we increasingly need to rely on trusted partners
to secure future growth," he said. He added that Australia's Southeast Asia
Economic Strategy to 2040 reflects a shared commitment to strengthening regional
cooperation in trade, investment, innovation and connectivity.
