Brunei will not open borders soon, says minister


Bandar Seri Begawan (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): The Sultanate will not be looking at opening borders with neighbouring countries any time soon as the country is not yet ready, and has not even begun negotiations with other countries on this matter, Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Minister of Finance and Economy II Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Mohd Amin Liew Abdullah said.

He made these comments in relation to a recent article regarding the “green lane” or “green bubble” on the possibility of opening borders with the Sultanate’s neighbouring countries which has raised concerns among the public.
