Your Majesty,
It is with great pleasure that I convey my warmest congratulations on the occasion of Your Majesty's birthday anniversary.
Brunei Darussalam attaches great importance to the warm and excellent relations enjoyed by our two countries, strengthened by the close bonds of friendship between our peoples. I welcome more opportunities to further develop these much-valued ties in the years ahead.
With my kindest regards and very best wishes for the continued good health and happiness of Your Majesty and the entire member of the Imperial Family, as well as for the progress and prosperity of the people of Japan.
