Ambassador to Brunei Xiao Jianguo attended the celebration of the Farmers and Fishermen's Day
On November 6, 2024, Chinese Ambassador Xiao Jianguo was invited to attend the celebration of Brunei's Farmers and Fishermen's Day, held friendly exchanges with Junior Minister of Resources and Tourism Manaf, Permanent Secretary Tutiati and other officials, and extended congratulations and condolences to the members of the Chinese expert group on the Brunei Hybrid Rice Senior Expert Adviser Project.
Ambassador Xiao said that the successful trial planting of high-yield hybrid rice assisted by China in October last year has brought new opportunities for China-language agricultural and fishery cooperation. The two sides are confident to upgrade relevant cooperation and promote the continuous development of China-language strategic cooperative partnership.
Both Manaf and Tutiati thanked China for its support and assistance to the development of culture, agriculture and fishery and hoped to further strengthen bilateral cooperation to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency in grain.
Yuan Longping Agricultural High-tech Co., Ltd. received a special Contribution Award from the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism at the event in recognition of its contribution to Chinese-language hybrid rice cooperation.
