Statement of TIMOR-LESTE at UNGA73

“Taking in to account that this is only the fourth time in the history of this organization that a woman leads this important body, I believe that the President will also be an important role model for women and girls worldwide. Madam President, I would like to assure you that you can count on Timor-Leste's support.”

“The continuing war in Syria is a tragedy that has been causing irreparable human damage and terrible suffering for the people living in that region. Timor-Leste urges that the international community develops all efforts to put an end to this war and to end the deaths and the destruction of this country.”
