The Anglo-Brunei Treaty of Friendship in 1847 distilled the events into a single document, confirming Labuan was ceded to the British in perpetuity.
This subsequent treaty consolidated the earlier acquisition, providing a clearer legal framework for British ownership. It resolved ambiguities from the initial 1846 agreement by explicitly stating the perpetual nature of the cession.
