DILI, 23 may 2024 (TATOLI) – The Government of Timor-Leste through the Council of Ministers approved a draft Government Resolution to award a donation of US$60,000 to the Permanent Representative of Western Sahara in Timor-Leste.
The resolution was presented by the Vice-Prime Minister, Minister Coordinator for Economic Affairs and Minister of Tourism and Environment, Francisco Kalbuadi Lay.
“This measure reinforces the historical ties that unite Timor-Leste and the Western Sahara,” said in a statement.
The donation is intended to support Western Sahara’s struggle for self-determination, national liberation, and independence.
Since 2011, Timor-Leste has contributed to the functioning of the Permanent Representation of Western Sahara in Dili, through the granting of an annual subsidy for the exercise of its activities in Timor-Leste and the region.
