Résumé
The legislative elections of 2023 marked the return of the political tandem of José Ramos-Horta as President of the Republic and Xanana Gusmão as Prime Minister, both being old hands at politics and international relations. Major development projects are more of a priority than ever, notably the Tasi Mane petrochemical development cluster on the south coast, which is closely linked to gas projects in the Timor Sea. The green light for the exploitation—likely with Australia—of both, the still untapped Greater Sunrise gas field and the Bayu-Undan depleted gas field as a Carbone Capture and Storage project is yet on hold. On the diplomatic front, Timor-Leste has received a roadmap from ASEAN in order to bring itself up to ASEAN standards in the hope of joining the organisation as soon as possible. However, the statements and initiatives from Timor-Leste's outspoken leaders against the Burmese junta was deemed imprudent in the context of its ASEAN membership.
