To: Her Excellency The Honourable Samantha Joy Mostyn AC, Governor-General, The Commonwealth of Australia
Your Excellency,
I am pleased to convey my warmest congratulations to Your Excellency, the Government and people of Australia on the occasion of Australia Day.
Brunei Darussalam and Australia continue to share excellent ties, underpinned by active people-to-people exchanges and multifaceted cooperation of mutual interest. Our Comprehensive Partnership reflects our deepening ties and I look forward to further developing these much-valued relations, both bilaterally and as close regional partners in the years ahead.
Taking this opportunity, I extend an invitation for Your Excellency to visit Brunei Darussalam to further deepen the friendship and cooperation between our people and countries.
With my kindest regards and very best wishes for Your Excellency's continued good health and happiness, as well as for peace and prosperity of the people of Australia.
SULTAN HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH
