History

Prior to full independence in 1984, Brunei was a British protectorate, with international representation being the responsibility of the United Kingdom, in which its interests were represented by the "Brunei Government Agency" in London. [1] A Government Agency was also established in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at the end of 1981. [2] This was later renamed the Brunei Commission. [3] When Brunei joined the Commonwealth on independence, these became known as High Commissions. [4] In 1983, shortly before independence, the country established a Government Agency in Manila, in the Philippines, which was later upgraded to an Embassy. [5]
