Peacebuilding Partners - Timor-Leste

Timor-Leste

A founding member of the Group of Seven Plus (g7+), an intergovernmental organization of countries that promotes peace and stability through advocacy on aid effectiveness and facilitates peer learning on good development practices, Timor-Leste has been contributing to peacebuilding and sustaining peace at international, regional and national levels. Since 2022, Timor-Leste has been engaged with the Peacebuilding Commission to mobilize support for its peacebuilding priorities, discuss challenges and share good practices and lessons learned.

The Peacebuilding Commission’s first-ever ambassadorial-level meeting on Timor-Leste took place in September 2022, with the participation of H.E. Mr. José Ramos-Horta, President of Timor-Leste, and H.E. Mr. Xanana Gusm?o, Prime Minister of the country. Timor-Leste further contributed to the discussion at the Commission during its multi-country meeting on transitional justice in April 2023, alongside Colombia and The Gambia. Mr. Hugo Fernandes, the Chief Executive Officer of the Centro Nacional Chega!, shared the country’s experience in actively promoting reconciliation. Most recently, the new Permanent Representative of Timor-Leste, H.E. Mr. Dionisio Da Costa Babo Soares, shared Timor-Leste experience on national efforts for peacebuilding at the Commission on 22 March 2024, together with Kenya and Norway.

H.E. Babo Soares said, “Efforts for conflict prevention and peacebuilding rest on the responsibility of States, and national leadership is key, while partnerships with regional and global actors are important to enable better linkages between national, regional and international conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and sustaining peace efforts.”
