ISTANBUL

Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is "feeling tired" and is "resting" at the National Heart Institute, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim told reporters in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

Bolkiah was admitted to the institute due to fatigue while he was visiting Malaysia to attend the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

As the current chair of ASEAN, Malaysia is hosting the leaders from the Southeast Asian bloc, as well as China and the Gulf nations.

"Well, he's feeling a bit tired, so he's resting at the National Heart Institute," Anwar said during a news conference streamed live.
