Pejabat Wawasan: Wawasan Brunei 2035 Briefing

Wawasan Brunei 2035 represents the vision of the future for Brunei Darussalam launched in 2008, which defines the long-term goals to make the country into a nation widely recognised for its educated, highly skilled and accomplished people; a high quality of life; and a dynamic and sustainable economy.

The people and residents of Brunei Darussalam are the main drivers in realising the Wawasan Brunei 2035 where the country’s success depends on the full involvement, commitment and continuous cooperation from all individuals. Hence, it is crucial to maintain the momentum through a Whole-of-Nation approach towards realising the national vision. The presentation will share a brief overview of the Wawasan Brunei 2035 Report (2015-2022), highlighting key achievements and progress made throughout the seven-year journey.

Breakout Sessions

These sessions are structured as follows:
