About our East Timor news

Latest news about East Timor, also known as Timor-Leste, including stories on its politics, economy, and social issues.

East Timor, located in Southeast Asia, shares the island of Timor with Indonesia, with which it has a troubled history given the latter's occupation from 1975 to 1999, and operates as a democratic republic. East Timor is one of the newest nations in the world, regaining independence in 2002. The country is comprised of thirteen administrative districts, with Dili serving as its capital. Portuguese and Tetum are the official languages, reflecting the nation's history as a past Portuguese colony. East Timor's economy is predominantly agrarian, with agriculture, coffee production, and fishing being key industries, but is fraught with issues including high levels of poverty and illiteracy alongside low levels of urbanisation.
