I covered the ASEAN-ROK summit that was held at Jeju Island in June of 2009. It was one of my first major overseas assignment so I wasn't sure what to expect at the time.
Things did not kick off on the right foot as, upon reaching Korea, I was informed my registration wasn't properly done. This meant that I had to spend half of my first day there re-registering and making sure all my paperwork was in order. Thankfully the media liaison (from the Brunei High Commission in Korea) and the representatives from the Information Department provided much help.
I have a number of interesting stories and experiences from this coverage which I will post over time. So keep checking back for more content.
In this particular news report we see His Majesty, the Sultan of Brunei, express satisfaction on then relations with Korea, in addition to dropping hints on areas of future cooperation. It has been ten year since and it's interesting to note what sort of developments have taken place since.
Read the stories and how they came to be during Melvin's and Jennee's tenure at The Brunei Times.
