BRUNEI LNG hosted the visit of the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Communication of Japan last Tuesday.
Upon arrival at BLNG plant in Lumut, His Excellency Hisanori Tamura and delegation were welcomed by Fred Smeenk, Managing Director of BLNG.
The Deputy Minister was accompanied on the visit by the Japanese Ambassador to Brunei His Excellency Hashimoto Itsuo.
The visitors were briefed by Smeenk on the company's operations and plans for the future including its current rejuvenation programmes.
They were also taken for a tour on the plant including the control room and the power plant project area.
Over the past 33 years, Brunei LNG has delivered more than 176 million tonnes of LNG to Japan. Brunei LNG currently exports six million tonnes of LNG per annum to its three customers in Japan.
Bazaar gets good response
More than 30 vendors took part in a three-day Bazaar Ria in Kuala Belait last week.
The colourful bazaar was organised by the Welfare, Sports and Social Section of the Kuala Belait-Seria Municipal Department.
It was open to vendors from all the country's four districts. There were various activities put up to entertain visitors at the event.
One of the participating vendors expressed her satisfaction towards the public response.
"Although we had a hard time getting more vendors from Kuala Belait to join in the bazaar and finally resort to vendors from other districts, however, the participation from the public was just great," she said.
School visit to Air Force
Some 40 students from the Pengiran Anak Puteri Hajah Rashidah Secondary School, Lumut, made an educational visit to the Royal Brunei Air Force in Rimba, Gadong.
During the visit the students were taken for a closer look at the many types of aircraft and other facilities available at the base.
The trip provided the students a rare chance to learn more about the Air Force and career opportunities it offers.
