Diplomatic career

Philippines

Johariah was once the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's (MOFAT) director of the ASEAN Department.[1] On 25 October 2016, Johariah obtained her letter of credence from Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.[2] As the newly appointed Brunei Darussalam ambassador to the Philippines, she was given an audience by Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah.[1] She paid a courtesy call to Dato Abdul Aziz, the deputy minister of defense, on 31 October, during which the minister urged closer cooperation with the RBAF personnel stationed there and ensuring their welfare, particularly that of the members of the International Monitoring Team (IMT) stationed in Mindanao.[2] On 6 December, she passes by the honor guards on route to Malacañang Palace to give President Rodrigo Roa Duterte her credentials.[3]

On 1 December 2019, Johariah was among the Bruneian officials who attended the 30th SEA Games opening.[4] In a reciprocal courtesy call on 15 March 2021, the assistant secretary for Asian and Pacific Affairs met with her to discuss bolstering bilateral ties, particularly in the areas of trade and investment in Mindanao and the BIMP-EAGA region, as well as defense and logistics collaboration as the larger ASEAN region continues to grapple with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On 6 June 2022, she met with President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at his Mandaluyong offices to convey both countries' determination to strengthen ties with the Philippines under the incoming government.[6] During an informal visit at the Department of Foreign Affairs on 22 June 2022, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Teodoro Locsin Jr. and Johariah reviewed the significant advancements in ties between the Philippines and Brunei over the previous several years.[7]

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

With effect from 10 August 2022, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah gave his approval for Johariah to be appointed permanent secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).[8][9] The President expressed gratitude on behalf of the whole country for Brunei Darussalam's ongoing efforts to strengthen ties between the two nations.[10] Later on 26 August, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. hosted a goodbye call for her, the departing ambassador, at the music room at Malacañang Palace.[11][12]

As an honorary member of the ceremony, she attended the food festival's opening in Bandar Seri Begawan on 4 August 2023, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation, which was held at the Philippine embassy.[19][20] The Secretary General of the ASEAN-China Center (ACC) had a meeting with her at Brunei's MFA on 29 February 2024.[21][22]
