President Duterte is expected to have an audience and a bilateral meeting with His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei at Istana Nurul Iman, where the President will be accorded official honors.

Brunei would have been the President’s first official international trip last September as Chief Executive. He cancelled the trip following a bombing in Davao City.
