East Timor-Turkey relations

East Timor
Turkey

Turkey and East Timor cooperate through the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, where Turkey became an Associate Observer.[1]

Diplomatic Relations

Turkey has assisted East Timor under the Frente Revolucionária de Timor-Leste Independente government in developing agriculture.[2] Even though improving agricultural productivity is a stated priority for the government, only 2% of the government budget has been allocated to agriculture.[3]

In response to the lack of support for agricultural development, Turkey has initially cooperated with Bishop Alberto Ricardo da Silva of Dili, by providing food to south-eastern districts during a drought in January 2005.[4] Following this assistance, Turkey, cooperating with the United Nations, started initiatives including rehabilitation and reconstruction of irrigation[5] systems, introduction of water harvesting techniques, wider distribution[6] of improved seeds of cereal crops, fruits and vegetables, livestock health, aquaculture projects, and sustainable management of forests and other natural resources.[7]

Economic Relations
  • Trade volume between the two countries was negligible in 2019.[1]
