BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Strategic implementation efforts and action plans towards achieving the main goals of Brunei Vision 2035 are being executed through manpower, social, and economic blueprints, a minister said at Brunei's Legislative Council on Monday.

According to the official media, Pelita Brunei, the second meeting of the 21st session of the Legislative Council opened here on Monday.

Haji Halbi bin Haji Mohd Yussof, minister at the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister of Defence, said that global conditions are unpredictable, and the nation faces impacts from geopolitical conflicts and economic uncertainties. To ensure Brunei realizes Vision 2035, the council proposes integrated actions and support through a whole-of-nation approach to achieve its goals.

According to Pelita Brunei, Brunei Vision 2035 establishes three main goals, including highly educated and skilled successful citizens, a high quality of life, and a dynamic and sustainable economy.

The minister emphasized that these interdependent goals are vital for building an inclusive, advanced, and resilient nation. Success requires collective responsibility and active participation from all societal strata without over-reliance on the government.

Brunei is located in the northern part of Borneo Island in Southeast Asia and is a sovereign state with the smallest population in Asia.
