Description
English: July 3, 2019 – U.S. Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Matthew J. Matthews hosted a celebration of the 243rd Independence Day of the United States with the theme of “People-to-People Connections,” illuminating the professional, educational, and cultural ties between Bruneians and Americans.

The Independence Day reception was attended by Guest of Honor Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Hamzah bin Haji Sulaiman, Minister of Education, as well as Brunei government officials, members of the diplomatic community, business executives, U.S. exchange program alumni, media representatives, and other invited guests.

In his welcoming remarks, Ambassador Matthews emphasized that it is “the many people-to-people connections that energize and create the special meaning in the relationship between Brunei and the United States.” These ties were illustrated by the many Bruneians who raised their hands when the Ambassador asked who had studied in the United States, participated in exchange programs, or trained with the U.S. military.

Ambassador Matthews presented the Minister of Education with a memento from the State University of New York at Albany, where the Minister earned a master’s degree.
