BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Reflecting on years of collaboration and camaraderie, German Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps Gerda Winkler said, "It is always sad to bid farewell to colleagues we have for years appreciated to know and work with, even more so as we are a small and tight-knit community here in Bandar Seri Begawan, which feels like family."

She said this while hosting a farewell dinner to honour Japanese Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Maeda Toru and Australian High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam Luke Arnold at a hotel on Thursday (Dec 19).
