Last update: 5 hours agoManpower & Jobs: Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says Singapore will open more labour channels to East Timor next year, allowing Timorese workers into selected construction, marine shipyard and process sectors plus chosen manufacturing and services occupations—aimed at giving Timorese skills and experience while easing Singapore’s manpower needs. ASEAN Integration: Wong also pledged to help Dili move from “benefiting” to “contributing” to ASEAN, including workshops on ASEAN chairmanship duties ahead of Timor-Leste’s 2029 goal, alongside a new regular consultation mechanism between foreign ministries. Diplomatic Boost: Wong received Timor-Leste’s top honour, the Order of Timor-Leste (Grand Collar), for Singapore’s support of national development and ASEAN accession. Regional Security Training: Australia’s AFP chief Krissy Barrett will urge the UN to adopt a “lean” peacekeeping police training model—successful in Timor-Leste—amid UN budget pressure. UN Peacekeeping Capacity: The “five-week” approach is being pitched as more affordable and sustainable for member states.
