Ambassador Allen delivered brief remarks on the similarities between Hawaii and Brunei, saying, “Like Brunei, Hawaii has a wonderfully warm and hospitable culture and is superb at welcoming visitors and making them feel at home. In this day and age where people talk about our differences, I feel it is important to instead focus on how we are the same. No matter our race, religion, politics, or location, fundamentally we hold the same values, such as compassion, hospitality, and respect.”
