New Government in Timor-Leste

We welcome the formation of a new government of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste under the leadership of Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao. We congratulate the people of Timor-Leste on their peaceful, free, and fair presidential and parliamentary elections.

We look forward to assisting Prime Minister Gusmao's government in meeting the challenges ahead and reaffirm our commitment to work with all parties in promoting the continued development of Timor-Leste.

We join the international community in urging that all parties accept the new government and work together peacefully to build a stable and prosperous country.
