AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

ASEAN and jobs push: Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong wrapped his first official visit to Timor-Leste, saying Singapore will open selected sectors and occupations to Timorese workers from 2027 and expand support so Timor-Leste can “contribute” as an ASEAN member and prepare for a 2029 chairmanship. Bilateral framework: The two governments signed an agreement to set up a regular foreign-ministry consultation mechanism, with cooperation also flagged for healthcare and education. Top honour for Singapore: Wong received Timor-Leste’s highest award, the Order of Timor-Leste (Grand Collar), for Singapore’s support for nation-building and ASEAN accession. Business expansion in Dili: Swire Shipping opened a Dili branch office, citing long-term growth prospects and direct service links via its Singapore hub. Regional skills boost: A Pacific Tourism Organisation workshop in Nadi trained tourism data officers from Timor-Leste and other Pacific states to strengthen evidence-based tourism planning. Mining update: Estrella Resources reported new high-grade manganese hits at Leuro and Sica, supporting its view that Ira Miri could be part of a wider district-scale opportunity.
