KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Brunei's Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah will make a special visit to Malaysia to strengthen bilateral ties on Monday, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry said.
Malaysia and Brunei have a special relationship which is based on a common heritage, culture and close people-to-people relations, the ministry said in a statement.
"Building on this special relationship, both leaders will take the opportunity of this visit to take stock of the progress of existing cooperation as well as explore new potentials for a more comprehensive partnership that can mutually benefit the two countries," it said.
