By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - The World Chinese Mini Story Seminar was yesterday launched at the Riverview Hotel, bringing together 130 professors and writers who will exchange ideas and discuss the existing issues related to it.

Present to launch the event was Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Dewa Major General (Rtd) Dato Seri Pahlawan Hj Awang Mohammad bin Hj Daud.

"The aim of the seminar is to bridge the world's nations with Brunei Darussalam," said Sng Teck Ann, the chairman of the organising committee of the seminar, in his welcoming address.

"Brunei Darussalam is an ancient and historical country. Brunei and China have had a history of commerce and communication for over a thousand years. It is therefore significant for us to hold this seminar in Brunei Darussalam," he added.

"Brunei Darussalam is the paradise for language learning. The Malay language, English language and Chinese language are the three major languages used in Brunei Darussalam," he added. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
