Timor-Leste diplomatic and peace advocacy efforts

Overview

Timor-Leste President José Ramos-Horta has engaged in several high-level diplomatic activities. In late August 2026, he led a delegation of approximately 20 Nobel laureates and Turing Award winners to Indonesia to meet with President Prabowo Subianto and former President Megawati Soekarnoputri. These meetings focused on strengthening bilateral relations and fostering collaboration in research, higher education, and environmental science.

In September 2026, President Ramos-Horta addressed the United Nations General Assembly, where he criticized the international community for failing to address impunity in global armed conflicts, specifically citing Gaza and Sudan. He described the current global state as a “moral quagmire” and urged leaders to prioritize peace by recognizing the human impact of conflict. Additionally, Timorese Foreign Minister Bendito Freitas met with Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel to discuss bilateral cooperation and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.
