SINGAPORE (AFP): The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, will
visit Singapore this week to discuss bilateral and regional
issues with leaders of the island state, the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs said yesterday.

The Sultan will be accompanied by his brother Jefri Bolkiah
and senior Bruneian officials during his visit from March 16 to
18, a statement from the ministry said.

Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong and Senior Minister Lee
Kuan Yew will meet Bolkiah during his brief visit, the statement
said. Goh will host a dinner for the Sultan tomorrow.

Like Singapore, Brunei has been largely unaffected by the
regional economic crisis, although the value of the Brunei dollar
has also depreciated since it is linked to the Singapore dollar.
