Fostering closer relations with foreign countries is deemed important in bringing together people of different race and culture. This is proven through the existence of numerous defence bilateral relations between Brunei Darussalam with other countries. It is of great importance to strengthen such co-operation in the preservation of peace and stability that are deemed as the foundation of economic development and prosperity. Brunei Darussalam's defence bilateral relations with countries like the United Kingdom, United States, France and others demonstrate the country's commitment to strengthen relations with His Majesty's Government at the forefront of the pursuit.
