PM in Brunei: Narendra Modi visits Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan
Indian PM Narendra Modi visited the iconic Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan on Tuesday, hours after he arrived in Brunei.
Prime Minister Modi was received by Brunei’s Minister of Religious Affairs Pehin Dato Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin.
"Brunei’s Minister of Health Dato Dr. Haji Mohammad Isham was also in attendance. A gathering of Indian community members were also present to greet the Prime Minister," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.
