A DELEGATION from the Indonesian National Resilience Institute (LEMHANNAS) is currently in the Sultanate on a five-day visit to gain information and attain better understanding on the bilateral relations between Brunei and the global, regional and national interests of the Republic of Indonesia.

The delegation consists of 24 participants of the Regular Course Batch 43 of LEMHANNAS, a non-ministry government institution placed directly under the purview of the President of the Republic of Indonesia in carrying out government stewardship in the area of strategic national tenacity and endurance research and training.

Yesterday, the delegates made a call to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
