Brunei Darussalam - lying northwest of the island of Borneo is one of the oldest kingdoms yet one of the youngest independent nations of the region.
A small country with a total land area of just 5,765 sq kin with a coastline that runs 161 km along the South China Sea, its tiny size has not impeded its social and economic progress.
The recent years has seen Brunei emerging as an audible voice and a competitive player in world affairs with active participation in international, regional and sub-regional core groups such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Asean, BIMP-EAGA, WHO and other high-powered organisations.
At the same time, keen to sharpen its competitive edge, the country has made leaps and hounds in the areas of technology and infrastructure.
But while the nation keeps pace with modernisation, tranquility still resides in its heart and for that, Brunei has been called the Abode of Peace, an apt description of the serene haven that the country really is.
Filled with gentle people and a culture of decorum and hospitability, Brunei is a true reflection of the Malay way of life. Indeed, the majority of the population (about 74%) is made up of the central role in the life of every Muslim in Brunei Darussalam.
The Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of the Sultanate is the head of the faith and rule the country according to the established values and traditions
