List of high commissioners of Brunei to Malaysia
- Abdul Momin Ismail (non-resident)
- Jaya Rajid (resident)
The Bruneian ambassador in Kuala Lumpur is the official representative of the Government in Bandar Seri Begawan to Malaysia. The Republic of Iraq and the Kingdom of Eswatini are two other nations to which the high commission holds accreditation.[1]
History
As a consequence of better ties between the two countries, Brunei established a government agency office in Kuala Lumpur in January 1982, concurrently with the establishment of a representative office in Bandar Seri Begawan by the Malaysian government. The announcement made by Brunei in September 1982 that it had extended diplomatic rights and immunities to the Malaysian Government Agency representative was warmly welcomed in the diplomatic community.[2]
The Sultan declared in October 1982 that the Malaysian Government Agency will be promoted to Commissioner rank by the government.[2] In January 1984, diplomatic ties were established between Malaysia and Brunei.[3] On 12 August 1992, Brunei established a resident high commission in India, which was led by an acting high commissioner. The high commissioner of Brunei to Malaysia was previously accredited to India.[4] Brunei maintains consulate-generals in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, in addition to a high commission in Putrajaya.[5]
