The Bilateral Youth Exchange Programme is the result of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Brunei Darussalam and Republic of Korea in 2009.
It is hoped that the MoU will assist and strengthen bilateral relations between both countries as well as enhance understanding and cooperation through the participation of locals and Korean youth.
Both countries believe that the youth would obtain benefits by extending their knowledge on the local culture, socio-economy and politics.
