UN Helps Timor-Leste Celebrate 1st Independence
UN Helps Timor-Leste Celebrate First Anniversary Of
Independence
The United Nations mission in Timor-Leste
helped the fledgling nation celebrate its first anniversary
of independence today by opening a photo exhibition with
some 80 photos, slide shows and videos highlighting the
partnership between the UN and the Timorese
people.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, President Xanana Gusmão said that as the UN Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) entered its final year, "to know that the commitment and support of the UN to Timor-Leste will continue [beyond UNMISET] makes us confident in the future."
The Timor-Leste Government decided to commemorate
the first anniversary in a decentralized manner in all the
13 districts with soccer matches and cultural activities,
assisted by UNMISET and other UN agencies.
