AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Singapore–Timor-Leste ties deepen: Prime Minister Lawrence Wong wrapped up his first-ever Singapore PM visit to Dili, saying the relationship is entering “a new chapter” as Singapore upgrades ASEAN support for Timor-Leste and pushes cooperation in healthcare, education, and regional integration. Work opportunities: Singapore will allow Timor-Leste workers into selected sectors and occupations from 2027, including construction and marine shipyard work, with the aim of building skills and experience for Timorese while meeting Singapore’s manpower needs. Top honour: Timor-Leste awarded Wong its highest Order of Timor-Leste (Grand Collar), citing Singapore’s contributions to national development and support for ASEAN membership. Bilateral momentum: Wong also said Singapore wants Timor-Leste to “contribute” to ASEAN, not just benefit, as Dili prepares for future leadership ambitions.
