He made these remarks following the ASEAN Special Meeting on Terrorism, which firmly rejected associating terrorism with any race, religion, or culture.[8] His tenure as permanent secretary concluded on 8 August 2002.[9]

Brunei became the 180th member state of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on 17 January 2007, after Adanan delivered a letter in Geneva on behalf of the government, formally accepting the ILO's constitutional obligations.[27] On 15 February, Adanan oversaw the contract signing for the biometric passport system in Brunei, worth over $71 million, introducing a secure system with a chip and biometric data, including fingerprints and images.[28] As part of the 8th National Development Plan (RKN), he presided over the groundbreaking ceremony for a $54.1 million market in Kuala Belait on 12 April, with completion expected by 20 October.[29] During Brunei's inaugural Workers' Day celebration on 5 May, Adanan addressed global workplace safety issues, citing ILO reports on occupational illnesses and accidents that cause millions of deaths and injuries annually.[30] On 6 November, the sultan met with ASEAN ministers at the 10th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime in Brunei, where Adanan chaired the meeting alongside key ASEAN officials.[31]

Brunei Darussalam has been blessed, and its experience in facing natural disasters has been limited to only flash floods, strong winds, forest fires, and haze. Some say we should not be complacent.
