Background |
|
The Sultanate of Brunei
(Full name: Negara Brunei Darussalam) is a small but - thanks
to natural gas and petroleum resources - very rich country located in
Southeast
Asia. It is
surrounded by
Malaysia and
has two parts physically separated by Malaysia, almost being an
enclave. Strategically located on the South China Sea, close to vital
sea lanes linking Indian and Pacific Oceans, it has an exclusive
economic fishing zone that extends as far as Louisa Reef in the
southern
Spratly Islands
although it makes no public territorial claim to the offshore reefs.
