The Brunei Darussalam Pavilion is showcasing the country's traditional craft, such as crutch making, mat weaving and basket weaving.

 

Three craftsmen, including a 69-year-old master, are demonstrating their skills at the pavilion until August 7.

 

The pavilion also features exhibitions on the oil-rich sultanate's economy, ecology, arts and high-quality life.

 

Dispalying century-old brass work, silverware and woodworks, the pavilion, with the theme "Now for the Future," reflects the small Muslim country's commitment to meeting not only the immediate needs of its people, but the long-term aspirations of its youth for the future.

 

It illustrates Brunei's National Vision 2035, a development blueprint to make the country widely recognized for an educated, highly skilled and accomplished people with a quality of life and a dynamic and sustainable economy.

 

Visitors can enjoy authentic food from Brunei, such as the hot and spicy Nasi Katok.
