Following the parade, Mr Wong and Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah jointly launched and toured a commemorative gallery highlighting milestones in the two countries’ defence relationship over the past five decades.
The parade is part of a year-long series of activities marking the golden jubilee of Singapore-Brunei defence relations.
These have included bilateral exercises involving their armies, navies and air forces, as well as cooperation in new areas.
Among the initiatives were Exercise Vanguard, the Binturan Bridge and an underwater demolition range.
During his visit to Brunei, Mr Wong also met SAF personnel training in Temburong and spoke to servicemen about their training experiences. He was accompanied by Mr Chan and senior SAF officers.
Singapore and Brunei’s bilateral defence relationship is “underpinned by strong leadership, institutional and people-to-people ties, with both defence establishments interacting regularly through high-level visits, bilateral exercises, professional exchanges and cross-attendance of courses”, said MINDEF.
Singapore remains committed to working with Brunei Darussalam to develop new and mutually beneficial areas of cooperation, while nurturing these close ties between future generations of SAF and RBAF personnel, it said.
