largest aerospace and defense event, serving as a global marketplace 
and networking platform for the military and civil aviation 
community.

followed by a second phase in 2020.  Acquisition of additional 
surveillance aircraft is included in Ministry of Defense's strategic 
plan.

a total of over 120 US exhibitors at the Airshow.  Several companies 
have expressed interested in the Brunei market.

to position itself as a key player in the increasing global demand 
for halal products.  A 263 hectare Agro-Technology Park is in 
progress, and the government is actively encouraging foreign 
investment in halal food production as well as R&D.

Post will be working closely with CS & USDA in Singapore to

set aside a budget of $1billion for e-government implementation, 80% 
of which has yet to be utilized.

CommunicAsia with key local companies, to offer and implement 
American technology in various fields in Brunei.
