3247807	有图 <p>Nepal’s monarchists know they cannot sell the past. Former King Gyanendra’s authoritarian rule is remembered for suspending the constitution, censoring the media, dismissing a government and arbitrary arrests of journalists. His son Paras, often seen as the embodiment of unchecked privilege, cannot be credibly marketed to the public. So the royalists are all-in on their new solution: Repackage the monarchy and the Hindu state with a fresh, new face.</p><p>A calculated return</p><p>Hridayendra Bir Bikram Shah’s coming into the public eye, through carefully choreographed appearances, is no accident. His recent vlog, made public on his 23rd birthday, paints him as a youthful, <i>untainted</i> figure aimed squarely at Nepali youth who did not experience the monarchy firsthand. As some commentators have noted online, this is precisely when you would unveil him if you were eyeing the 2084 general elections.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>In the video, which now has close to a million views on YouTube, Hridayendra Bir Bikram Shah is seen wearing a <i>Dhaka</i> topi with <i>Tika</i> on his forehead, while still donning a Western-looking shirt/jacket and pants. The aim is to evoke familiarity and legitimacy with a broad Nepali audience, while subtly communicating that he is at the same time forward-looking and ‘relatable’ to today’s Nepali youth. It is a deliberate and visual public relations (PR) move. Similarly, the use of both Nepali and English words in his speech (although, could have been done partly because of his comfort) highlights a similar contrast.</p><p>It has been close to two decades since the monarchy was uprooted. The Nepali youth has only a vague memory of the living conditions during the rule of the monarchy, if they remember anything at all. This means the monarchy is now old enough that people are starting to have an ‘authoritarian nostalgia’. Research has suggested that voters can express attachment towards authoritarian successors, especially in maturing democracies. In Nepal’s case, the pro-monarchists’ clear choice seems to be Hridayendra.</p><p>Monarchy and the Hindu state, a paired agenda</p><p>Monarchy’s revival in Nepal, through current efforts linked with Hridayendra as well as in its past efforts with Gyanendra, is rarely discussed in isolation. For many royalist groups, it is closely tied to the demand to restore Nepal as a Hindu nation, a status it officially held until the 2007 declaration of secularism through the Interim Constitution. Rather than just being nostalgia from the past, it is a political project that appeals to segments of the population unsettled by rapid social change, migration and the perceived erosion of cultural identity. In recent years, pro-Hindu movements have also drawn energy from India’s Hindu nationalist turn. It could be argued that since Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party became the Indian Prime Minister in 2014, Nepali actors who present secularism as a foreign imposition have been emboldened. </p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>It is not just India, though. Populist and authoritarian politicians have gained popularity across Western democracies as well. Prominent examples include Donald Trump in the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, Boris Johnson in the UK and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. It seems individuals around the world are not just tolerating populism and authoritarianism, they are encouraging it through their electoral choices. The difference, at least so far, is that authoritarian leaders in the West are testing the limits of democracy and its checks and balances, while in Nepal, the monarchists are challenging the very survival of democracy.</p><p>Readers should keep in mind that under the monarchy, the King was officially regarded as a protector of Hinduism. Restoring the monarchy is therefore only the first step towards reshaping the country’s constitutional identity, with significant implications for religious minorities, civil liberties and Nepal’s fragile commitment to pluralism.</p><p>Frustration over current leaders</p><p>The resurgence of pro-monarchy demonstrators also comes at a time when frustration over current leaders is at its peak. This agitation is largely driven by a lack of employment opportunities, rampant corruption, and, at least in part, by recently proposed legislation designed to protect the political elite. Recent examples of the latter include a controversial decision that paves the way for federal ministers to determine their salaries. Likewise, another bill looks to legalise polygamy, while earlier bills aimed to regulate social media and allow amnesty for ‘political’ criminals.</p><p>Exploiting this disillusionment over Nepali democracy and its rulers, the royalists seek to offer an escape from the current state of affairs. And it is a tempting offer for those who see no hope in the current political leaders. For many, the promise of a familiar system untainted by today’s political squabbles feels like a lifeline.</p><p>What we must not forget, though, is that for all its flaws, the current system allows ordinary citizens to vote to elect their representatives. In the last general elections, for example, the Rastriya Swatantra Party won a significant number of seats in the federal parliament. Similarly, Balendra Shah’s rise as the mayor of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City without the backing of any political party tells us that alternative voices can break through. While the control remains concentrated in the hands of the old parties like the Nepali Congress and the UML, this is proof that there is room for others to come through if they can win over the public trust.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>Hridayendra’s PR makeover may succeed in softening the monarchy’s image in Nepal, as can be seen through the countless likes and comments on his YouTube videos and shares across other social media platforms. It may even make the restoration of the monarchy <i>appear</i> harmless. However, nothing about Hridayendra suggests he is fit to rule, except, of course, the fact that he had the privilege of being born into a royal family. And make no mistake: Reinviting the monarchy, in any form, is to restore an institution that once dismantled our democracy and may well be looking to dismantle it again. No carefully staged photo op can rewrite that truth.</p> Authoritarianism with a new face	查看 7087	加德满都邮报	2025-08-15 00:00:00 2025-08-16 08:23:07	word
3247806	有图 <p>In yet another case of intra-party political discord leaking into its sister organisations, rival factions of the youth wing of the Rastriya Prajantra Party (RPP) clashed on Wednesday, forcing an abrupt postponement of the wing’s Kathmandu district convention. In the process, a sister wing of a political party again showed itself to be no more than a puppet of the leaders of the mother party. The ugly truth is that their use as a political weapon has greatly corrupted these organisations over the years.</p><p>In the partyless Panchayat era, political parties operating underground needed these organisations to raise political awareness and strengthen support for their movements. While former King Mahendra’s iron-fist rule barred political parties from carrying out their activities openly, groups such as students, teachers and lawyers were not restricted from organising. As a result, the parties used such groups to fuel the democratic movement. They thus played a pivotal role in the restoration of democracy. </p><p>However, the sister wings of political parties are becoming obsolete, as they have been reduced to the role of displaying muscle for their mother parties. Such organisations have failed to represent their representative groups. Farmers’ organisations affiliated with the ruling parties do not amplify the concerns of the farmers so long as their mother party is in power. Student unions care about their affiliated party’s political line rather than the hardships faced by students. Instead of providing a platform for young leaders to develop into solid politicians, youth wings are being reduced to rudimentary roles such as taking to the streets in ‘show of strength’ rallies. </p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>In addition, such organisations have now become battlegrounds for the leaders of the political parties. Candidates are fielded in the general conventions of sister organisations only with the blessings of certain leaders in the mother parties. As a result, when they win internal elections and occupy office, these organisational leaders amplify the political line and preferences of the leaders who backed them during the election. These leaders of sister wings often lack even basic manners and decency as their power comes not from work but from the protection of powerful politicians. In a recent case, Kamal Raj Joshi, a student leader affiliated with the ruling CPN-UML, was caught on camera beating up a police officer.</p><p>What is the use of a student organisation that does not seek to help students? How can a youth wing represent the youth while being led by elderly figures? And what value does a teachers’ organisation have when it worries more about political ideologies rather than the classroom environment? We have come a long way since the restoration of democracy in 1990 and today, the sister wings of political parties have stopped working for the groups they supposedly represent. </p><p>Ruffian student and youth leaders from these sister wings tarnish the reputation of the mother party, not just the sister wing. Sometimes, it makes more sense to amputate a limb if it stops functioning, let alone function in a way that is detrimental to the body. Sister wings of political parties either need to be disbanded or revamped to serve their intended purpose.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p> Unsisterly wings	查看 3819	加德满都邮报	2025-08-15 00:00:00 2025-08-16 08:23:07	word

Ninety-three baby gharials, barely two months old, are turning the facility’s ponds into a lively spectacle. Globally listed as critically endangered, the gharial is among the rarest crocodilian species in the world, and this year’s hatchlings are being hailed as a major conservation success.</p><p>Inside two enclosures, some hatchlings splash about in the pond, others practise catching small fish, while a few bask lazily in the sun. Several huddle together in apparent affection, watched closely by caretakers. </p><p>“This year, five nests were laid. Of more than 120 eggs, 105 hatched successfully, though 15 hatchlings died. Now, 93 are thriving,” said Ashok Ram, chief of the national park.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>The centre’s records reflect fluctuating success over recent years. In the last fiscal year of 2024-25, fifty hatchlings were born and 32 survived; in 2023-24, eighty-five hatched with 64 survivors; and in 2022-23, fifty-five hatched with 38 making it past infancy. </p><p>“Most deaths occur within the first two months,” Ram explained. “Cold temperatures and difficulty feeding are the main causes. After that, they grow well.”</p><p>According to conservationists, survival rates in captivity up to the time of their release is around 60 percent, which is far higher than one to two percent survival seen in the wild.</p><p>The park’s information officer Saroj Mani Paudel said that this year’s eggs hatched in mid-June. Hatchlings will remain in the centre until they are large enough for release. Tourists often flock to see the tiny, delicate reptiles—a gentler image compared to the intimidating adults. “They’ve become a key attraction,” Paudel said.</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>The gharial inhabits clean, flowing rivers and feeds exclusively on fish.

It was signed by James Macleod, director of the NOC Relations, Olympic Solidarity, and Olympism365 at the IOC.</p><p>Macleod also sent an email to Minister for Youth and Sports Teju Lal Chaudhary on April 3. It stated: “We are sincerely counting on your collaboration to facilitate the ongoing work with the NOC and make sure that the NOC can continue to operate without any undue interference, in accordance with the Olympic Charter and in line with the fundamental principle of autonomy which governs the Olympic Movement, to avoid additional complications.”</p><p>And the NOC’s executive committee fears that the complications are evident that the state has not stopped its interference. The feud only deepened when a nine-member ad-hoc committee surfaced on Tuesday with former NOC president Dhruba Bahadur Pradhan as its chairman and Samim Miya Ansari as spokesperson.</p><p>As per the committee’s statement, they were formed through the support of 23 of the 31 sports associations registered with the NOC. This is a fact hard to accept as the majority of the associations’ internationally recognised officials are in support of the new executive committee.</p><p>Further, the ad-hoc committee has not revealed the members, and it has not been backed by the NSC, the body responsible for forming ad-hoc committees as per the National Sports Development Act, nor the ministry. Minister Chaudhary, on August 1, declared to form an ad-hoc committee, but the committee does not state which eligible authority had formed it. </p><p>“Either the NSC or the ministry has backed the ad-hoc committee formally because they know that they are unlawful. They do not have the required individuals,” Shrestha said. “The committee, for instance, is like a group of people at a tea shop forming a cabinet and declaring one as prime minister.”</p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannerdesk-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p><img src="https://assets-cdn.kathmandupost.com/uploads/source/ads/bydbannermob-1753675032.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>Such steps have only tarnished the image of the state in the eyes of the international sporting community, said Rajiv Shrestha, general secretary at the NOC.</p><p>“The case is in the Patan High Court. Still, the minister is forming an ad-hoc committee, discussing the issue and influencing the case while it is still being heard.

More than 30 representatives from the Chinese community in Timor-Leste, Chinese enterprises, the Chinese medical team, the Chinese agricultural technical expert group, and the Confucius Classroom participated in the event.</p><p>Participants recalled the arduous and heroic 14-year struggle of the Chinese people, noting that the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression strongly supported the Eastern Main Battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War. They emphasized that this great victory was not only a pivotal historical turning point for the Chinese nation on its path toward rejuvenation, but also an indelible contribution to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.</p><p>“They emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party’s role as the mainstay was key to the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance. At the critical juncture of national survival, the CPC was the first to propose resistance against Japanese aggression, consistently holding high the banner of the Chinese united front, mobilizing people at home and abroad, and forging a nationwide torrent of resistance,” Ambassador Wang Wenli told TATOLI at the Embassy of China in Dili.</p><p>Participants also stressed that the fruits of victory in the World Anti-Fascist War should be cherished and safeguarded by all humanity. They called on all countries to work together to uphold the outcomes of the victory, oppose any acts that distort history or deny the crimes of aggression, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.</p><p>Ambassador Wenli added that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, with China specifically commemorating its victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This war, which began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 and lasted 14 years, resulted in significant Chinese casualties and destruction.</p><p>The 80th anniversary will be observed with a series of ceremonial events, including a military parade scheduled for 3 September 2025 in Beijing, commemorating the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.</p><p>World War II officially ended for China and Japan with the formal surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945, following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet declaration of war. The surrender ceremony took place aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. In China, the surrender was celebrated as “Victory over Japan Day” (V-J Day), marking the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War.</p><p>Ambassador Wenli highlighted that China and Timor-Leste have forged deep historical bonds and shared values in their respective struggles for national independence. She noted that China–Timor-Leste relations are currently at a historic peak. The overseas Chinese community in Timor-Leste expressed their readiness to continue carrying forward the great spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, to care for and support the development of their motherland and ancestral homeland, actively integrate into Timorese society, and contribute to advancing the China–Timor-Leste comprehensive strategic partnership and building a China–Timor-Leste community with a shared future.</p><p>At the same event, Kathleen Goncalves, head of the local Chinese community in Timor-Leste, stated that the symposium was crucial for sharing the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.</p><p>“This symposium was organized by the Embassy of China, inviting the Chinese community in Timor-Leste to share the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War,” she concluded.</p><p>Journalist: Camilio de Sousa </p><p>Editor: Rafael Ximenes de A.

3247797	无图 <p>DILI, 15 August 2025 (TATOLI) – The Provedor for Human Rights and Justice, Virgílio da Silva Guterres “Lamukan” welcomes the Government’s initiative to recruit new members for the National Police of Timor-Leste (PNTL). Independent studies, including PDHJ’s own reports, confirm that the country lacks sufficient police officers to respond effectively to crime and ensure public safety.</p><p>However, after reviewing the public announcement of 4 August 2025 and Ministerial Diploma No. 17/2024 of 25 June, PDHJ identified several recruitment criteria of serious concern:</p>Mandatory single status for candidates (Article 20).Declarations certifying family ties with veterans (Article 21(3)(j)).Requirements for children of PNTL officers to submit parental service records (Article 21(3)(g)).Preferential ranking criteria (Article 37) prioritizing children of the “patriot generation,” and children of PNTL officers. Admission quotas (Article 42(2)(b)(c)) reserving 20% of vacancies for children of PNTL officers and 20% for children of the “patriot generation,” both based on final scores.Medical fitness standards (Annex VI), which include illnesses such as past tuberculosis, malaria, or controlled diabetes. While medical checks are necessary to ensure fitness for duty, some of these conditions are fully curable or manageable. Using them as automatic grounds for exclusion, rather than assessing a candidate’s actual ability to serve, is neither fair nor proportionate.”<p>Speaking at a press conference on 13 August, Ombudsman Guterres considered the rules granting automatic preference based on family ties or excluding candidates solely for being married violated the principle of equality. “Article 16 of the Constitution guarantees that all citizens are equal before the law and prohibits discrimination based on social position, marital status, family background, physical condition, or any other personal status. Article 50 further protects every citizen’s right to work and to freely choose a profession without favouritism or unjust barriers. When citizens do not have equal conditions to compete for public administration jobs, this also constitutes a restriction of the right to work</p><p>Guterres said: “Prioritizing the children of veterans or police officers does not honour them, it devalues the people who have also sacrificed and suffered. The question is: where do we place the children of ordinary citizens? Giving automatic preference does not truly value veterans or police themselves, because they proved their worth through their own ability. Their children should also prove they can serve — not be overshadowed by their parents.”</p><p>PDHJ recalls that Article 2(1) of Ministerial Diploma No. 17/2025 explicitly requires recruitment to respect merit, freedom of candidacy, and equal opportunity, ensuring that selection is based on qualifications, experience, and competence.</p><p>Pursuant to Article 150 of the Constitution, the Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice will soon submit a petition for abstract constitutional review (fiscalização abstrata) to the Court of Appeal to assess the constitutionality of these recruitment criteria.</p><p>Guterres said that this is not only a judicial matter but also a social and historical one: “Timor-Leste’s struggle for independence was founded on the values of equality, justice, and dignity for all. Favouring certain groups or excluding others undermines these principles and denies capable Timorese the opportunity to serve their country.”</p><p>As the national human rights institution, PDHJ has a duty to uphold both the letter of the law and the spirit of justice. Fair, transparent, merit-based recruitment is essential to building police institutions that are credible and trusted by the public.</p><p>“Therefore, PDHJ urges the Government, particularly the Ministry of Interior and the PNTL General Command, to review and amend these recruitment requirements — including clarifying the criteria related to physical fitness — in order to ensure equal opportunity for all citizens and to remove any elements inconsistent with the rights and principles enshrined in Timor-Leste’s constitutional framework,” Guterres stressed. </p><p>He concluded that PDHJ remains ready to cooperate in seeking solutions that protect both national security needs and fundamental rights.</p><p>Journalist: Camilio de Sousa</p><p>Editor: Filomeno Martins</p> PDHJ Calls for Revision of Discriminatory Criteria in 2025 PNTL Member Recruitment and Training - TATOLI Agência Noticiosa de Timor-Leste	查看 4431	塔托利新闻社	2025-08-15 11:25:17 2025-08-16 08:12:29	word

The event was witnessed by Vice Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Affairs and Minister of Rural Development and Community Housing Mariano Sabino Lopes “Assanami,” Vice Minister for Hospital Operationalization Flávio Brandão, Vice Minister for ASEAN Affairs Milena Rangel and the President Authority of Baucau Municipality Venderanda Lemos.</p><p>The USD 700,000 grant from NEDA will fund the rehabilitation of the BEmONC Center in Quelicai, the upgrading of the BEmONC Center in Baguia, and the provision of two multi-functional vehicles to deliver essential health services to remote communities.</p><p>Perames Vudthitornetiraks, President of NEDA, emphasized the shared purpose of the partnership.</p><p>“The BEmONC project marks our first development initiative in Timor-Leste, the beginning of a promising partnership, and serves as a gateway to deeper collaboration between our two nations. We sincerely hope that this initiative will lead to improved health and well-being for mothers and newborns, strengthen sexual and reproductive health services, and build enduring capacity within Timor-Leste’s healthcare system. Every mother and every newborn deserve the best possible chance at life. Through this partnership, Thailand is proud to stand alongside Timor-Leste in building that future.”</p><p>For communities in Baguia and Quelicai, where access to quality maternal and newborn care has long been a challenge, the project promises safer deliveries, timely emergency interventions, and healthier beginnings for children.</p><p>Navchaa Suren, UNFPA Country Representative, highlighted the life-saving potential of the initiative:</p><p>“This initiative is more than a rehabilitation project. It is an investment in the lives of women and babies through strengthening primary health care in rural areas.”</p><p>Representing the Government of Timor-Leste, Vice Prime Minister Mariano “Assanami” Sabino Lopes expressed deep appreciation and noted that the cooperation reflects the strong friendship between the two countries and their shared commitment to protecting mothers and children, who are among the most vulnerable citizens.</p><p>Following the signing, the NEDA delegation, led by President Perames Vudthitornetiraks, will visit the project site in Quelicai to meet with healthcare providers and witness firsthand the conditions in which maternal and newborn services will be strengthened.</p><p>This BEmONC initiative marks NEDA’s first pilot cooperation project in Timor-Leste and aligns with various national and international policies and strategies, including the Sustainable Development Goals, Timor-Leste’s National Strategic Development Plan, the National Health Sector Development Plan, and UNFPA’s Country Program Document for Timor-Leste.</p><p>The Ministry of Health and UNFPA have identified the need for 36 BEmONC centers, based on accessibility and distance from communities, to reduce maternal and newborn deaths. According to UNFPA, over 6,000 pregnant women in Timor-Leste require urgent access to emergency obstetric care each year, making the expansion of BEmONC services critical to reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths.</p><p>Maternal and child health has been a priority in Thailand’s cooperation with Timor-Leste in recent years, combining both infrastructure and capacity-building support. In addition to the BEmONC project, Thailand is also working to strengthen midwifery education and supporting joint research on stillbirths conducted by Mahidol University of Thailand and UNFPA Timor-Leste.</p><p>Present at the signing ceremony were the Ambassador of Thailand Atipat Rojanapaibulya, Ambassador of the Philippines Mary Anne A.

3247791	无图 <p>By: Dionisio Babo Soares</p><p>TimorLeste is scheduled to officially join the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in October 2025. This will be more than a ceremonial milestone. It will culminate a long, deliberate process that began with its 2011 application and has involved years of legal harmonisation, diplomatic outreach, and institutional strengthening. It will also be the start of a far more demanding phase: translating the symbolism of membership into tangible economic, political, and social gains, while navigating the constraints of ASEAN’s consensusdriven system and the realities of its own limited capacity.</p><p>Indeed, the accession process has already reshaped the machinery of government. By mid2025, Dili had ratified 84 ASEANrelated agreements, from the ASEAN Charter to the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement, the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement, and multiple Mutual Recognition Arrangements. Ninetyone legal instruments have been translated into Tetum and Portuguese with Japanese assistance, covering all three pillars of the ASEAN Community: 23 in the PoliticalSecurity sphere, 59 in the Economic sphere, and 9 in the SocioCultural sphere. These translations are not symbolic; they are the legal foundation for aligning domestic regulations with ASEAN standards, and they will be ratified by Parliament and promulgated in the “Jornal da República” to give them binding force. The ASEAN Secretariat and the Asian Development Bank have been running Phase 2 of a capacitybuilding programme in 2025, training 86 officials from ministries such as Commerce, Finance, Petroleum, and Foreign Affairs on the technical requirements of the ASEAN Economic Community’s priority agreements and the post2025 strategic plan.</p><p>What more needs to be done?</p><p>The economic baseline is challenging. With a per capita GDP of roughly US$1,000, TimorLeste will be ASEAN’s smallest economy, onethirtieth the size of Myanmar’s. Oil and gas still account for about 80% of GDP and 90% of state revenue, leaving the country acutely vulnerable to price swings. Nonoil exports are narrow, as coffee brought in US $28 million in 2023, about 7% of nonoil GDP, with small volumes of organic spices and handicrafts. Imports are heavily ASEAN-oriented; for example, between 2004 and 2022, 60% of TimorLeste’s US$13.43 billion in goods and services imports came from ASEAN markets, mainly Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand. Food imports alone comprised 20% of the total between 2018 and 2022. Membership will open tarifffree access to a market of 667 million people with a combined GDP of US $3.6 trillion, and to ASEAN+1 free trade agreements with partners such as China, Japan, and Australia. However, it will also require new systems for tariff classification, certification of origin, and investment protection, all of which will strain fiscal and human resources.</p><p>Politically and strategically, ASEAN membership will give TimorLeste a seat in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, the ASEAN Regional Forum, and the East Asia Summit. Its location near the OmbaiWetar Strait, a key sea lane, positions it to contribute to maritime security under the ASEAN Outlook on the IndoPacific. However, ASEAN’s consensusbased decisionmaking, already tested by divisions over Myanmar and the South China Sea, could be further strained by a new member with a still-developing administrative system.</p><p>TimorLeste’s deep infrastructure ties with other countries considered rivals of the organisation may sharpen intraASEAN sensitivities over their influence, echoing past frictions with Cambodia and Laos. Balancing relations with such countries, particularly China, the United States, Japan, and Australia, will require careful diplomacy to avoid overalignment and preserve strategic autonomy.</p><p>Socially, ASEAN’s labour mobility frameworks could help address youth unemployment, which exceeds 20%. Sixty per cent of the population is under 25, with only 12% of the workforce completing secondary education. English proficiency, ASEAN’s working language, is limited to a small percentage of adults. Timor-Leste needs to catch up with investment in vocational training and language skills to avoid missing out on opportunities in highdemand sectors such as healthcare, construction, and digital services, the latter projected to generate US$330 billion in ASEAN by 2025. Rural development is equally urgent: almost 70% of Timorese depend on subsistence farming, yet agriculture contributes just 8% to GDP. ASEAN’s SocioCultural Community frameworks, including the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response, could support climate resilience and rural livelihoods. These programs must be integrated into national development planning to facilitate it.</p><p>The integration challenge is twofold: aligning domestic institutions with ASEAN’s acquis while using membership to catalyse structural transformation. On the institutional side, TimorLeste must complete ratification and operationalisation of all ASEAN legal instruments, embed ASEAN focal points in ministries, and sequence commitments under the “ASEANX” formula to avoid administrative overload. Economically, it should target niche exports with a comparative advantage, namely, premium organic coffee, spices, and ecotourism, and use ASEAN’s Mutual Recognition Arrangements to professionalise its tourism workforce. Negotiating a free trade zone and developing an Industrial Park, as envisaged by President Joko Widodo and President José Ramos-Horta, with Indonesia’s Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, could stimulate crossborder commerce. It could also lay the basis for European market expansion using Timor-Leste’s quota in the European market. Infrastructure connectivity must be pursued through the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025, prioritizing maritime and air links, and eventual participation in the ASEAN Power Grid for renewable energy integration.</p><p>Governance reforms are equally critical. TimorLeste ranks 110th of 180 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, still considered a deterrent to investors. Therefore, strengthening judicial independence, improving public procurement transparency, and ratifying the ASEAN Agreement Against Trafficking in Persons will be essential, particularly as crossborder labour mobility expands. Climate resilience should be mainstreamed into development planning, leveraging ASEAN’s Blue Economy Framework to develop sustainable fisheries and protect marine biodiversity.</p><p>The risks of mismanaging integration are real. Administrative overload could delay compliance with ASEAN obligations; economic dependency on oil could persist if diversification stalls; overreliance on one partner, such as China, could create geopolitical vulnerabilities; skills gaps could limit benefits from labour mobility; and climate shocks could disrupt growth. Mitigating these risks will require phased implementation of commitments, targeted investment in human capital, balanced foreign policy, and climateproof infrastructure.</p><p>In this context, the most tangible and urgent step after accession is the creation of a permanent ASEAN Integration and Competitiveness Council. Chaired by the Prime Minister or a senior minister, and comprising key ministries, the private sector, academia, and youth representatives, this body would coordinate policy alignment, oversee capacitybuilding, identify market opportunities, and monitor integration benchmarks. It should be legally established within six months of accession, with a dedicated budget and technical secretariat supported by ASEAN partners. Its mandate would include aligning national policies with ASEAN commitments, overseeing training programmes for officials and businesses, conducting market intelligence to promote niche exports, tracking progress on integration, and running public awareness campaigns to build domestic support for ASEAN engagement.</p><p>Such a council would institutionalise ASEAN engagement at the highest level, ensuring that membership is symbolic and a driver of inclusive growth, governance reform, and strategic influence in Southeast Asia. It would also signal to ASEAN partners and investors that TimorLeste is serious about meeting its obligations and maximising the benefits of integration. In the long run, success will depend not only on the mechanics of compliance but on the vision and leadership to use ASEAN as a platform for national transformation, turning the promise of membership into tangible gains for the Timorese people. If ASEAN’s founding ethos is “One Vision, One Identity, One Community,” TimorLeste’s challenge will be to weave its narrative into that fabric without losing the threads of its hardwon sovereignty and democratic values. The next chapter begins in October 2025; how it is written will depend on choices made now, in the narrow window between accession and the realities of life inside the ASEAN tent.
