Timor-Leste is seeking to cooperate with Brunei Darussalam in forest conservation and the oil and gas sector, said the country’s president during his four-day state visit, which concluded recently.

 

In an interview with the Weekend Bulletin Timor-Leste President Dr Jose Ramos Horta said, “Brunei is an oil and gas producing exporting country with more experience on how to manage the revenue from oil and gas export.

 

“We are newer and have a very successful sovereignty fund from oil and gas export. I believe that in the energy sector, Brunei and Timor-Leste can team up.”

 

The Timor-Leste president also said Brunei is one of the best examples in the world for forest conservation.
