The exhibition showcases five decades of bilateral defence cooperation, highlighting key milestones and shared experiences that have strengthened ties between the two countries’ leadership and defence establishments.

It also traces military cooperation between the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) since 1976, including joint training, personnel exchanges, professional development programmes and military courses conducted in both countries.

These engagements have strengthened mutual understanding, enhanced interoperability and fostered professional and personal ties among military personnel.

The gallery will be open to the public from October 15 to 25.
