By Jon Tampoi

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Darussalam will be participating in the Asean Campus Journalist and Leaders Meet organised by the COCI of Asean.

Thailand is hosting this year's event, where each of the 10 Asean member countries will be sending two representatives. Two 17-year-olds from Maktab Duli Pengiran MudaAl-Muhtadee B illah - Dk Nur Qayyimah Santikan Pg Md Apri and Dyg NuurAqilah Hj Zainal Arrifin - are representing the Sultanate at the 18-day event in Bangkok.

It will be a very busy time for the two as they will be undergoing workshops, taking part in cultural exchange programmes and visiting various places in Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. The two students will receive a daily allowance of US$70.

Brunei will be hosting the next Asean Campus Journalist and Leaders Meet.

The Philippines hosted the first such event in 2005. Apart from fostering understanding and journalism, it is also dedicated to promote Asean and the cultures of its members. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
