The visit is expected to boost political trust and drive more substantive, effective cooperation across all fields, helping Timor-Leste tap Vietnam’s experience and support in joining ASEAN and regional mechanisms.
Gusmão’s presence at the forum gives Timor-Leste a chance to reaffirm its commitment to ASEAN’s shared goals while strengthening connectivity with regional partners to accelerate socio-economic development.
After the welcome ceremony, the two leaders held talks to review bilateral ties and set future directions.
