Bandar Seri Begawan - The Department of Economic Planning and Development hosted a talk on the Brunei Darussalam Long-Term Development Plan for stakeholders at the Civil Service Institute yesterday.

On hand to deliver the talk was Acting Director of Planning Awang Abdul Amin bin Haji Hashim.

Prior to the talk, Acting Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office Awang Haji Mumi bin Haji Mohamed said the aim of the event "is to provide information for all stakeholders in the implementation of the national development plan as well as to ensure they understand the content of the plan".

"It is also hoped that the participants will provide feedbacks to improve the plan," he added.

Meanwhile, among the stakeholders present were students from SayyidinaAli Secondary School Kuala Betait, led by their teachers Miss Emisa Amiun and Cikgu Norlelawati Haji Bolhassan.

"It is indeed the concern of all members of the society to take this opportunity to get involved in the strengthening of the country and gaining a competitive edge against other oil producing countries in Asean as well as the world," said Miss Amiun.
