“Brunei–Russia relations”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Brunei–Russia relations ({{lang-ru|Российско-брунейские отношения}}) is the relationship between the two countries, Brunei and Russia. Brunei maintains an embassy in Moscow, whilst Russia's ambassador to Malaysia is accredited to Brunei as a non-resident ambassador.

Background of Soviet-era relations

In 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev called for the establishment of diplomatic relations with Brunei.^[1] Although the Soviet ambassador to Singapore attempted to establish said relations with Brunei in 1988, the Sultanate was unprepared to establish relations with the Communist state at the time. On 1 October 1991, Brunei established relations with the Soviet Union.^[2]^[3]

Post-Soviet relations

In 2000 President Vladimir Putin arrived in Brunei for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit met with the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, in the Nurul Iman Palace.^[4]

On 10 June 2005, the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, made the first official visit to Russia by a head of state of Brunei. According to Gennady Chufrin, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the visit marked a serious step towards the establishment of bilateral relations.^[5]

On 1 December 2008, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed an order to establish a Russian embassy in Bandar Seri Begawan. Andrei Nesterenko, the spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the establishment of a Russian embassy in the Brunei capital would help to intensify issues surrounding the Brunei–Russia relationship.^[6]

As of January 2018, Brunei and Russia maintain a visa-free regime for ordinary passport holders, for visits up to 14 days, for a maximum total stay of 90 days within any 180 day period.
