In recognition of these longstanding ties between the two countries, Brunei dignitaries like Prince Mohamed Bolkiah, the younger brother of Sultan Hassanah Bolkiah and then foreign minister, visited the memorial park in 1993, which was also the first visit by a Brunei foreign minister to China. Thereafter, Princess Hajah Masnah, the younger sister of Sultan Hassanah Bolkiah, also visited the memorial park on three previous occasions in 2006, 2008 and 2019.
