What is your message for Indian investors and policymakers about Timor-Leste?

Timor-Leste is reliable for new partnerships. With both countries now having embassies in Dili and New Delhi, closer collaboration between India and Timor-Leste is easier than ever.

Timor-Leste has clear sectoral priorities, improved connectivity, and a motivated young workforce. This is the right moment for Indian investors to explore opportunities in agriculture, fisheries, tourism, healthcare, IT, and clean energy.

Together, India and Timor-Leste can promote sustainable development, transform goodwill into projects that create jobs and resilience for our peoples.
