Tourism & Skills: Timor-Leste launched the Timor-Leste Tourism Ambassador Programme, a free, one-day certified training (Dili Convention Centre) to boost customer service, professionalism, and destination knowledge, with 59 participants on June 1–2 and plans to scale to about 300 more from July to September. Digital Governance: verify.gov.tl went live on June 1, a Cambodian-supported portal to verify Timor-Leste driver’s licenses and transport documents online, aiming to cut document fraud and reduce licensing costs. Regional Diplomacy: Foreign Affairs urged Timor-Leste to avoid misleading remarks that could harm Myanmar’s image, after President José Ramos-Horta’s comments at Shangri-La Dialogue and an ERIA meeting were viewed by Myanmar as interference. Peacebuilding & ASEAN: Ramos-Horta used ERIA’s Jakarta lecture series to stress forgiveness, dialogue, and Timor-Leste’s readiness to contribute reconciliation experience as the country prepares for deeper ASEAN integration. Gender Rights at the UN: Timor-Leste joined seven countries backing a push to add “gender apartheid” to a future UN crimes-against-humanity treaty. Culture & Community: A Timorese pavilion connection surfaced in coverage around the Venice Biennale, highlighting how national culture travels through major international art stages.
