The visit highlighted 50 years of defence relations and cooperation in sustainable aquaculture between Singapore and Brunei.
As part of the 50th anniversary of defence relations between Singapore and Brunei, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited Brunei and met Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) personnel stationed there. He said the longstanding partnership had provided valuable learning opportunities for soldiers from both countries while building lasting friendships.
During the visit, Senior Minister Lee also toured Barramundi Group’s aquaculture farm. He noted that the company worked closely with partners in Singapore to supply fish to supermarkets, hotels and businesses, while collaborating with research partners, including A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*STAR IDL), to strengthen fish health and improve the aquaculture ecosystem.
Senior Minister Lee added that sustainable fish farming supported the food security partnership between Singapore and Brunei. He also thanked SAF personnel for their service, recognising their contribution to strengthening Singapore’s defence capabilities and supporting peace and stability in the region.
