  1. “We can strengthen this commitment with the support of the international community for an early and imminent process of peaceful, democratic and stable development. We look forward to that day.”

  2. “We again feel assured that both Timor-Leste and Indonesia will work together to resolve and push forward on this issue. Ultimately, the resolution of this issue has an important bearing on the status of refugees and displaced persons and on sustainable peace and security. While we fully support the democratic process in Timor-Leste and the engagement of a battalion of around 300 troops, it must be emphasized that a timeline aiming at an end to the mission must be respected. This will ensure that Timor-Leste achieves full independence and has a smooth transition, marked by development, in a timely manner. Much is at stake in the Asian region in relation to the state of affairs in Timor-Leste. We take pride in the successful intervention of the United Nations in this case.”

  3. “We are therefore sensitive to that country's requests for a continuing level of peacekeeping, which would engender an environment that is more conducive to the Government, assisted by the United Nations, being able to nurture stability and security. The Secretary-General's recommendations in paragraph 64 of his report are sound and strategic and give credibility to the immense international, intergovernmental and bilateral investment in Timor- Leste leading up to the successful mission under the very able stewardship of Ambassador Kamalesh Sharma. We have every confidence that the Government of Timor-Leste will thus be better positioned to engage its resources and political will in order to take any outstanding legislative or executive measures. Much progress has reportedly been made on the very sensitive issue of border demarcation.”

  4. “We have spoken in the past about the enormous waste that would result from a non-strategic exit from Timor-Leste, which would expose any latent vulnerabilities in the newly emerging democracy. The United Nations must be vigilant in guarding against what would appear to be a neo-colonial tendency in terms of developing democratic processes. This vigilance, however, needs to be balanced with the needs of the Government and the people of Timor- Leste in the process of nation building. We note that, for Timor-Leste, the sine qua non for achieving the essence of democracy is a sound and secure environment.”

  5. “As the last speaker on this issue, Sir, I wish to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency and, through you, to thank the Foreign Minister of Timor-Leste, Mr. Jose Ramos-Horta, for his personal attendance at this important meeting. The Secretary-General's comprehensive report (S/2004/117) recognizes the need to consolidate and build upon the gains in peace and security in Timor- Leste. Clearly, Timor-Leste needs to reach a level of self-sufficiency and sustainability without fear of the return of an environment of destabilization. History has taught us that, when peace operations are prematurely withdrawn, situations often revert to violence and conflict.”
