Welcome To

The Australian High Commission

Website


Australia and Brunei enjoy a warm relationship which spans many areas of interaction and our two countries have cooperated closely on global and regional fora. The modern relationship traces its origins back to June 1945 when Australian forces liberated Brunei from Japanese occupation, but its first direct expression was the establishment of the Australian High Commission in 1983 just before Brunei became independent.

Australia and Brunei cooperate in a range of global and regional forums and individual links among people from both countries are strong. Approximately 700 Bruneian students study in Australia each year.

Our trade relationship is also significant with the total value of merchandise trade between our two countries worth $A1.1 billion in Financial Year 2007 - 2008. Live animals and food products were the major Australian exports to Brunei and crude petroleum was the major import from Brunei. Total services trade was worth $A134 million, with Australian services exports to Brunei increasing by 11.5% on the previous year.

Australia and Brunei also enjoy a close working relationship in many areas such as agriculture, culture, sports and the arts, defence, education and training, science and technology, police and law enforcement cooperation, and tourism.

This website is part of our broader effort to promote and enhance understanding between the people of our two countries. I welcome feedback on how it might be improved (austhicom.brunei@dfat.gov.au).
