Malaysia and Brunei are set to discuss regional haze, border security, and bilateral relations during the 27th Annual Leaders’ Consultation, which will take place in Bandar Seri Begawan. The haze originating from Kalimantan, Indonesia, is a major concern for Malaysia, particularly affecting Sarawak due to its proximity to the affected area.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, along with his delegation, will hold a one-to-one meeting with Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah to address these issues. High Commissioner to Brunei Datuk Mohd Aini Atan stated that the issue of haze is among current concerns of mutual interest, but ultimately, it will be decided by the two leaders.

Land border and security issues are also expected to be on the agenda, as they have been a longstanding concern between the two nations. The consultation serves as the highest-level bilateral mechanism between Malaysia and Brunei, allowing both countries to review progress in their relationship and discuss regional and international developments of mutual interest.
