KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Brunei's King Hassanal Bolkiah arrived here yesterday for a four-day official visit to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries.

The Brunei king was met at the airport by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, Bernama news agency reported.

The visit, at the invitation of Malaysian King Tuanku Ja'afar, was to reciprocate a trip to the oil-rich country by the Malaysian monarch.

An official ceremonial welcome was given to the royal guest at Parliament Square immediately after his arrival.
