南京市与文莱首都斯里巴加湾市签署延长友好城市关系协议书
Nanjing and Bandar Seri Begawan, Capital of Brunei, Renew Their Sister-City Agreement

近日，文莱苏丹哈桑纳尔来华进行国事访问期间，作为中国与文莱之间唯一一对友好城市，南京市与文莱首都斯里巴加湾市签署延长友好城市关系协议书，并列入两国联合声明。

Recently, during Sultan of Brunei Hassanal’s state visit to China, Nanjing and Bandar Seri Begawan, the only pair of sister cities between China and Brunei, renewed their sister-city agreement, which was included in the joint statement between the two countries.

文莱自古以来就是海上丝绸之路的关键节点。600多年前，浡泥（今文莱）国王麻那惹加那乃在造访明王朝期间不幸病逝，葬于南京安德门外石子岗，如今浡泥国王墓已是全国重点文物保护单位。结缘于这段历史，南京市早在2011年就与文莱首都斯里巴加湾市结为友好城市。今年的续签，翻开了两市友好交流的全新篇章，也为中文两国深化战略合作伙伴关系增添了新动力。

Brunei has been an important part of the Maritime Silk Road since ancient times. Over 600 years ago, Maharaja Karna, the king of Boni (present-day Brunei), passed away during his visit to the Ming Dynasty and was buried in Shizigang outside Nanjing’s Andemen. Today, the Tomb of the King of Boni is a major historical and cultural site protected at the national level. Due to this historical connection, Nanjing established a sister-city relationship with Brunei’s capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, in 2011. The recent renewal marks a new chapter in their friendly exchanges and gives new impetus to the deepening strategic partnership between China and Brunei.

中国—文莱友谊馆。Dewan Persahabatan China-Brunei

多年来，南京与文莱及斯里巴加湾开展了丰富的交流合作。南京一直以来高度重视“浡泥国王墓”的保护工作，挂牌“浡泥国王纪念园”，修缮“中国—文莱友谊馆”，新建“浡泥国王历史陈列馆”，让历史文化遗产焕发新的光彩。

Over the years, Nanjing has engaged in extensive exchanges and cooperation with Brunei and Bandar Seri Begawan. Nanjing has placed great importance on preserving the Tomb of the King of Boni, including building the Memorial Park of the King of Boni, restoring the Dewan Persahabatan China-Brunei, and establishing the History Exhibition Hall of the King of Boni, in order to ensure that this cultural heritage continues to shine.

经济领域，2020年南京市建设“一带一路”交汇点重要枢纽城市经贸合作对接会上，文莱驻华大使拉赫玛尼参会并发言推介文莱投资环境。2021年，江苏中坤创嘉与文莱—中国友好协会签署电商合作备忘录。南京南化建设有限公司于2017年3月中标恒逸（文莱）PMB石油化工项目西部罐区和东部罐区施工总承包（一期）工程，工程圆满交付并获多项大奖。

In the economic sector, at the 2020 Economic & Trade Matchmaking Conference on Building Nanjing into a Key Hub of Belt and Road Initiative, Rahmani, Bruneian Ambassador to China, delivered a speech and presented Brunei’s investment environment. In 2021, Jiangsu Zhongkun Chuangjia signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on e-commerce cooperation with the Brunei-China Friendship Association. In addition, Nanjing Chemical Construction Co., Ltd. won the EPC contract (Phase 1) for the western and eastern tank farms of the Hengyi (Brunei) PMB Petrochemical Project in March 2017, successfully delivered the project and won multiple awards.

从校际缔结友好交流学校备忘录，到组织各类交流活动，双方教育领域的合作成果同样亮点纷呈。南京不仅邀请文莱大学学生参与“南京国际青年交流计划”，还助力文莱来宁留学生申请奖学金。两地院校在人才培养方面的合作也逐步推进，多所中小学缔结友好合作关系，开展特色主题实践教育活动，为两地青年学生搭建起沟通桥梁，促进教育资源共享与文化融合。

Educational cooperation between the two sides has yielded remarkable results, from MoUs for academic exchange signed between schools to various exchange activities. Nanjing has invited university students from Brunei to participate in the Nanjing International Youth Exchange Program and has supported Bruneian students in the city in applying for scholarships. Collaboration in talent cultivation is also advancing, as many primary and secondary schools from both sides have established partnerships and hosted themed educational activities. These efforts have built bridges for young students and fostered educational resource sharing and cultural exchange between the two countries.

丰富的文化交流活动也深化了两地人民的友谊。2014年至今，南京市多次应邀，派市民龙舟代表团赴文莱参加龙舟赛。2021年12月，南京市体育总会与文莱武术总会、中国国旅（江苏）国际旅行社与文莱—中国友好协会分别签署合作备忘录，促进两地在体育、旅游等领域的交流合作。2024年8月，南京市与中国驻文莱大使馆、文莱慧芬艺廊共同主办的“中国—文莱文化艺术节”在斯里巴加湾市举行，吸引了中文两国艺术界、学术界、政府机构等200多人参与。

Rich cultural exchange activities have further deepened the friendship between the two sides. Since 2014, Nanjing has sent dragon boat teams to Brunei many times to participate in races. In December 2021, cooperation memoranda were signed between the Nanjing Sports Federation and the Wushu Federation of Brunei Darussalam, and between China International Travel Service (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. and the Brunei-China Friendship Association, to enhance collaboration in sports and tourism. In August 2024, Nanjing, the Chinese Embassy in Brunei and Huifong’s Art Gallery co-hosted the Brunei-China Art and Visual Culture Festival in Bandar Seri Begawan, attracting over 200 participants from the arts, academia and government sectors of both countries.

此次签署延长友好城市关系协议书，是双方交流合作的新起点。今后，南京市将继续推动双方在文化、教育、旅游、经贸等多领域开展更加丰富多样的交流与合作，构建全方位、多层级合作通道，更好服务国家总体外交，为中文两国友好关系发展作出更大贡献。

The renewal of this sister-city agreement marks a new starting point for cooperation. Moving forward, Nanjing will continue to promote diverse exchanges and collaboration in culture, education, tourism and trade. By building comprehensive and multi-level cooperation channels, Nanjing aims to support China’s overall diplomacy and make greater contributions to the enhancement of bilateral relations between China and Brunei.
