PM Modi inaugurated the new Chancery of the High Commission of India, in Brunei’s capital Bandar Seri Begawan.

The term can also refer to the office of a chancellor or an official administrative office dealing with legal documents, particularly in diplomatic contexts.

The first phase of Indians arriving in Brunei started with the discovery of oil in the 1920s.

Currently, approximately 14,000 Indians are residing in Brunei. The contribution of Indian doctors and teachers to the growth and development of Brunei’s healthcare and education sectors has been well acknowledged.
