The Embassy of Japan hosted a reception in honour of His Majesty Emperor Naruhito, The Emperor of Japan, marking his 64th birthday. The event was held at the Songket Ballroom, Rizqun International Hotel on 27 February 2024, to which BMC representatives were present as well.

This year holds special significance as it marks the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Brunei Darussalam established since 1984. Over the four decades, Japan and Brunei Darussalam have built amicable relations through cooperation in the areas of energy, trade and investment, education and people-to-people exchange. With 75% of BMC equity held by Japanese corporations, we take pride in being part of this bond in advancing the shared economic relations.
The evening began with the national anthems of Japan and Brunei Darussalam, setting a resonant tone. Mr. Yamamoto Eiji, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Brunei then took the floor to deliver the welcoming remarks.
