upcoming 3rd China-Asean Expo (CAExpo).
`Discover the Blue Side of Brunei

rainforest activities, Brunei will now reveal another piece of
unexpected treasure - the beautiful blue coast.
With 161krn of pristine coastline,
filled with palm-lined beaches lapped by deep blue water, the pavilion
will promote the country as a great venue for marine based sports and
recreation.
This near, the theme focuses on the
colour of the sea (blue sea) and the river.
which are the means of historical
communication from Brunei to China.
In addition, the sunken chinese
pottery or artefacts, which are mostly blue in colour are displayed to
promote the marine & ecotourism.
The replica of the Royal Chariot was
introduced and displayed as the centre of focus in the 2nd China-Asean
Expo last year. The replica received an overwhelming respond and
triggered the interests from the visitors as well as the foreign media
members.
The Royal Chariot was officially
handed over to the government and people of the Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region of China last year.
The ceremony was witnessed by Pehin
Dato Dr Awg Hj Ahmad bin Hj Jumat, the Minister of Industry and
Primary Resources.
Also present were Hj Abd Hamid,
