His Royal Highness made the sabda during a meeting with His Excellency Gao Zhidan, Minister of the General Administration of Sport of China. The meeting took place at the General Administration for Sports of China (GASC) National Training Centre.

His Royal Highness, in his sabda, said that there is vast potential for the development of sports cooperation between Brunei Darussalam and the People's Republic of China, and expressed Brunei's interest to learn more about China's innovative approaches in nurturing athletic talent.

Upon arrival, His Royal Highness was greeted by the Minister of the General Administration of Sport of China.

In the meeting, His Royal Highness welcomed both countries' mutual commitment to establishing Brunei-China wushu training camps under the Bilateral Cooperation Plan of the Belt and Road Initiatives, which was signed in 2025, to further develop cooperation in this area.
