History

[edit]

Until 1984, Brunei was a British protectorate, with international representation being the responsibility of the United Kingdom, which was represented by a High Commissioner, and before 1959, by a Resident, responsible for defence and external affairs.[2] Shortly before full independence, other countries began opening missions in Brunei, with Malaysia opening a Government Agency in 1982, which was later upgraded to a Commission, along with its Singapore counterpart.[3] Following independence and Brunei joining the Commonwealth, these became known as High Commissions.[4] Similarly, the United States Consulate-General, established shortly before independence in December 1983, became the United States Embassy.[5]
