Diplomatic Visit: East Timor President José Ramos-Horta arrived in Malaysia for a five-day special visit, with meetings including a dialogue session at Taylor’s University and a luncheon hosted by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, before returning to Dili on June 17. Energy & Industry: Eni has formalised a joint operating agreement with state-owned Timor GAP for offshore Timor-Leste Block P (TL-SO-22-23), setting the framework for joint operations, decision-making and exploration, including planned seismic work and a future exploration well. Regional Peace & Security: In an interview, Ramos-Horta said a Greater Sunrise gas development agreement with Australia could be signed in July, a major step for a country still rebuilding after its last producing field shut in 2025. Public Service & Community: Timor-Leste is also in the spotlight for national events and outreach, including a report on the Blue Economy push and wider community engagement tied to the country’s sea and ocean week activities. Health & Society: A separate report notes relief in Timor-Leste after the president declined to pardon a convicted paedophile and ex-priest, with civil society urging the name be removed from future pardon lists.
