For this reason, Timor-Leste, having as its neighbours two large and friendly countries — Indonesia and Australia — hopes to see its borders with both countries demarcated or delimited by the end of my Government's mandate, so that all the resources belonging to the people of Timor-Leste can be exploited in a free and sovereign manner, for the benefit of present and future generations of Timorese.
Por ello, Timor-Leste, que tiene por vecinos a dos países grandes y amigos, Indonesia y Australia, espera que las fronteras con ambos se delimiten o demarquen antes de que concluya el mandato de mi Gobierno, de manera que todos los recursos pertenecientes al pueblo de Timor-Leste puedan explotarse de forma libre y soberana, en beneficio de las generaciones presentes y futuras de timorenses.
