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 in a titah highlighted the United States’ (US) continued contribution to ASEAN’s socio-economic progress and development, and expressed appreciation for its continued support through leadership and educational programmes, such as Fulbright, Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) and the ASEAN-US Internship, which have helped to build understanding among the people and strengthen their capabilities. His Majesty delivered a titah during the 10th ASEAN-US Summit held at the Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel, Cambodia yesterday. Accompanying His Majesty was His Royal Highness Prince ‘Abdul Mateen. In working towards regional recovery, His Majesty emphasised that ASEAN and the US should enhance collaboration on digital infrastructures and e-commerce, particularly for micro, small and medium enterprises. Peoples and businesses are fast becoming more dependent on the Internet, which exposes them to constant cybersecurity threats, such as data breaches and fraud. In this regard, His Majesty looked forward to more capacity-building programmes and knowledge-transfer from the US to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities. In concluding the titah, His Majesty expressed confidence that the establishment of the ASEAN-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership will be more meaningful, substantive and mutually beneficial. ![](https://media.everythingbrunei.com/public/iMA7dgNL8N-S9_D-FGmKh-FpyViO5KvvZDZw2LIItNa.jpeg) ![](https://media.everythingbrunei.com/public/Qy8_y7t3mFs_3TRl2jWsq-98b_hJJMG8LlLn3sgHfmn.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 and United States President Joe Biden with ASEAN leaders at the 10th ASEAN-US Summit at the Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel, Cambodia.
