Timor-Leste National Day – United States Department of State

On behalf of the people of the United States of America, I congratulate you as Timor-Leste celebrates its 23rd Restoration of Independence Day. Throughout Timor-Leste’s history, our two nations have maintained robust relations through economic, diplomatic, and military ties. The United States supports Timor-Leste in its contributions to a free and open Indo-Pacific and its accession to membership status in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The United States of America extends our best wishes during your celebrations, we look forward to further expanding our partnership in the future.
