Lyna Mohamad Ambassador of Oman to Brunei Darussalam cum Dean of the Diplomatic Corps Sheikh Ahmed bin Hashel Al-Maskari and members of the Diplomatic Corps yesterday heaped praise on His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam’s Government for curbing the COVID-19 outbreak and moving the Sultanate into the Endemic Phase. “We in the Diplomatic Corps are massively privileged to take this opportunity to express our extreme gratitude and profoundest appreciation to His Majesty and His Majesty’s Government for the prioritisation accorded to the diplomatic community in terms of vaccination and quarantine arrangements over the past two years,” Sheikh Ahmed said during a luncheon reception marking the monarch’s 76th birthday celebration at the Royal Berkshire Hall, Royal Brunei Polo and Riding Club yesterday. The Diplomatic Corps is also grateful to the health authority in Brunei Darussalam for the dialogues on COVID-19-related issues and incentives, as well as the support afforded to foreign workers in the Sultanate to alleviate their hardship in the wake of the outbreak. The ambassador pointed out that while the world struggles to contain the pandemic, Brunei Darussalam pressed on with His Majesty’s foresight of seeking Allah the Almighty’s blessings through the recitation of Doa and Zikir, in addition to enforcing stringent health practices. In doing so, the Sultanate was able to effectively control the outbreak and subsequently move into the Endemic Phase. “We would also like to congratulate His Majesty on Brunei Darussalam’s successful ASEAN chairmanship last year. In those challenging times, Brunei continued to play an important role as the ASEAN chair,” he added. ![](https://media.everythingbrunei.com/public/Ul2Sam9x7b12WUG5g4RHc-m-qMbuyQ-llAxMP-39GVf.jpeg) His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam; Her Majesty Duli Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha binti Al-Marhum Pengiran Pemancha Pengiran Anak Haji Mohamed Alam; His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Her Royal Highness Paduka Seri Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Anak Sarah binti Pengiran Haji Salleh Ab Rahaman; Her Royal Highness Princess Hajah Masna, Ambassador-at-Large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Lela Cheteria Sahibun Najabah Pengiran Anak Haji Abdul Aziz bin Pengiran Jaya Negara Pengiran Haji Abu Bakar in a group photo with members of the Diplomatic Corps.
