Letters
of Exchange signed in
2009, Malaysia in 2010
ceded two hydrocarbon
concession blocks to
Brunei in exchange for
Brunei's sultan
dropping claims to the
Limbang corridor,
which divides Brunei;
nonetheless, Brunei
claims a maritime
boundary extending as
far as a median with
Vietnam, thus
asserting an implicit
claim to Lousia Reef
