From Tuesday to Thursday, representatives from Timor-Leste and Indonesia met in Dili to negotiate the delimitation of maritime borders between the two countries. This round of negotiations focused on six maritime segments that are under dispute.

The delimitation of maritime borders is considered a "national priority" for Timor-Leste, according to information presented during the discussions. Both countries expressed their desire to reach a "fair solution" to the border issue.

This is a continuation of talks initiated in previous rounds, with both sides seeking to facilitate mutual understanding. The duration of the negotiations indicates a continued commitment to resolving the differences.

The discussions in Dili aim not only to resolve delimitation issues but also to enhance the bilateral relationship between Timor-Leste and Indonesia, taking into account the economic and strategic aspects involved.
