Foreign Policy
Timor-Leste's foreign policy emphasizes multilateralism, small-state solidarity, and gratitude toward the international community that supported its independence. Relations with Indonesia have normalized significantly, with both countries pursuing reconciliation and economic cooperation.
ASEAN accession is a top diplomatic priority. Timor-Leste also maintains strong ties with the Pacific Islands Forum and the CPLP. Australia is a key security and economic partner, though maritime boundary disputes in the Timor Sea have been a source of tension (largely resolved by the 2018 maritime boundary treaty).
