Last update: 10 hours agoTourism Digital Push: Timor-Leste launched a redeveloped official tourism website (timorleste.tl) as a “digital gateway,” with an interactive map covering all municipalities, mobile-first design in eight languages, and a 24/7 AI chat assistant to help visitors plan trips and find accommodation, food, and activities.

Bilateral Cultural Cooperation: Indonesia and Timor-Leste discussed cultural heritage preservation, museum/library management, and exchange programs, including possible UNESCO intangible heritage nominations and cultural residency links for young artists. Disaster Response & Capacity: The U.S.-led Pacific Partnership 2026 mission began in Dili, working with Timorese ministries, the private sector, and civil society to strengthen disaster management and medical services.
