Dili, June 16 (AseanAll) — The President of the Republic of Timor-Leste, J. Ramos-Horta, received an Australian study visit group at the Presidential Palace on June 16, 2025, facilitated by Mrs. Kirsty Sword Gusmão.
The annual visit aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Timor-Leste’s sociopolitical landscape, history, and culture, fostering stronger interpersonal ties between the two nations.
