Em entrevista exclusiva ao Harian Kompas, Xanana revelou que, para se tornar membro pleno, o país ainda precisa concluir mais de 40 documentos exigidos. O forte apoio continua a fluir, inclusive da Malásia e da Indonésia, para garantir que esse processo de adesão ocorra sem percalços, apesar das diferenças culturais, linguísticas e das adaptações institucionais necessárias.
“We will avoid to have allies… to have no allies and no enemies. Everybody in the world, near or far away, big or small, rich or poor, we are all brothers.”
Como um país relativamente novo e que esteve isolado das memórias de expressão portuguesa devido à sua longa história, a prioridade máxima de Timor-Leste no momento não é competir diretamente no cenário industrial global, mas sim revitalizar o setor agrícola e fortalecer a economia doméstica.
Xanana destacou o grande desafio de uma economia ainda altamente dependente de importações. Milhões de dólares fluem para o exterior todos os anos, enquanto parte da população ainda vive em condições vulneráveis. Através do apoio às Micro, Pequenas e Médias Empresas (MPME) e da criação de bancos de crédito especializados, o governo está determinado a incentivar os cidadãos locais a produzirem e processarem suas próprias necessidades.
“We cannot start ambitioning export, at least we do for ourselves instead of importing things that we can have.”
A relação entre Timor-Leste e Indonésia não é descrita apenas como laços diplomáticos comuns, mas sim como um vínculo fraterno profundo, como verdadeiros irmãos. No futuro, espera-se que essa colaboração se torne ainda mais significativa, inclusive através do envio de jovens talentos para enriquecer competências e impulsionar a economia interna.
Respondendo aos vários testes internos da ASEAN — como a questão de Mianmar ou as tensões regionais —, Xanana considera que abordagens baseadas no diálogo, na empatia e na troca de experiências são muito mais eficazes do que meramente ditar ou julgar. Com base na sua experiência no cenário internacional (como no grupo de países vulneráveis G7+), ele acredita que abordagens sociais e diplomáticas humanizadas podem resolver conflitos gradualmente.
Em meio ao turbilhão da concorrência entre as grandes potências globais — desde a Austrália, passando pela China, até outros poderes regionais —, Timor-Leste mantém firme uma filosofia de política externa única e pacífica:
“Our international policy is not to consider one bigger than other, not to consider one richer than others… We will avoid to have allies, no allies and no enemies. Everybody in the world, near or far away, big or small, rich or poor, we are all brothers.”
Com essa filosofia de ausência de aliados e de inimigos, Timor-Leste avança com firmeza sob a liderança de Xanana Gusmão — trazendo um novo espírito, amizade universal e uma forte determinação de construir o futuro da nação a partir do coração da ASEAN.
In an exclusive interview with Harian Kompas, Xanana revealed that to become a full member, the country still needs to finalize more than 40 mandatory documents. Strong support continues to flow, including from Malaysia and Indonesia, to ensure this accession process runs smoothly despite cultural and linguistic differences, as well as institutional adjustments.
“We will avoid to have allies… to have no allies and no enemies. Everybody in the world, near or far away, big or small, rich or poor, we are all brothers.”
As a relatively new country that was once isolated from Portuguese-speaking memories due to its long history, Timor-Leste’s primary priority right now is not to directly compete in the global industrial arena, but rather to fix the agricultural sector and strengthen the domestic economy.
Xanana highlighted the major economic challenge of remaining heavily dependent on imports. Millions of dollars flow abroad every year, while parts of the population still live in vulnerable conditions. Through support for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and the establishment of dedicated credit banks, the government is determined to encourage local citizens to produce and process their own daily needs.
“We cannot start ambitioning export, at least we do for ourselves instead of importing things that we can have.”
Relations between Timor-Leste and Indonesia are described not merely as standard diplomatic ties, but as a deep fraternal bond akin to biological siblings. Moving forward, this collaboration is expected to become even more meaningful, including sending young talent to enrich skills and boost the domestic economy.
Responding to various internal tests within ASEAN—such as the situation in Myanmar or regional tensions—Xanana believes that dialogue, empathy, and the exchange of experiences are far more effective than simply dictating or judging. Drawing on his international experience (such as within the G7+ group of fragile states), he believes that humanized social and diplomatic approaches can gradually resolve conflicts.
Amidst the whirlwind of global power competition—ranging from Australia and China to other regional powers—Timor-Leste firmly holds a unique and peaceful foreign policy philosophy:
“Our international policy is not to consider one bigger than other, not to consider one richer than others… We will avoid to have allies, no allies and no enemies. Everybody in the world, near or far away, big or small, rich or poor, we are all brothers.”
With this philosophy of no allies and no enemies, Timor-Leste steps forward with confidence under the leadership of Xanana Gusmão—bringing a new spirit, universal friendship, and a strong determination to build the nation’s future from within the ASEAN region.
Dalam wawancara eksklusif bersama Harian Kompas, Xanana mengungkapkan bahwa untuk menjadi anggota penuh, negaranya masih harus merampungkan lebih dari 40 dokumen persyaratan. Dukungan kuat terus mengalir, termasuk dari Malaysia dan Indonesia, demi memastikan proses aksesi ini berjalan mulus meski diwarnai perbedaan budaya, bahasa, hingga penyesuaian institusional.
“We will avoid to have allies… to have no allies and no enemies. Everybody in the world, near or far away, big or small, rich or poor, we are all brothers.”
Sebagai negara yang relatif baru dan sempat terisolasi dari memori berbahasa Portugis akibat sejarah panjang, prioritas utama Timor Leste saat ini bukanlah langsung bersaing di kancah industri global, melainkan membenahi sektor agrikultur dan memperkuat ekonomi domestik.
Xanana menyoroti tantangan besar ekonomi mereka yang masih sangat bergantung pada impor. Jutaan dolar mengalir ke luar negeri setiap tahunnya, sementara sebagian masyarakat masih hidup dalam kondisi memprihatinkan. Melalui dukungan terhadap Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) serta pendirian bank kredit khusus, pemerintah bertekad mendorong warga lokal untuk mulai memproduksi dan mengolah kebutuhan mereka sendiri.
“We cannot start ambitioning export, at least we do for ourselves instead of importing things that we can have.”
Hubungan antara Timor Leste dan Indonesia digambarkan bukan sekadar relasi diplomatik biasa, melainkan ikatan persaudaraan yang erat bagaikan saudara kandung. Ke depan, kolaborasi ini diharapkan semakin bermakna, termasuk melalui pengiriman tenaga muda untuk memperkaya keahlian dan memajukan perekonomian domestik.
Menanggapi berbagai ujian internal di tubuh ASEAN — seperti isu di Myanmar atau ketegangan regional — Xanana memandang bahwa pendekatan dialog, empati, dan pertukaran pengalaman jauh lebih efektif ketimbang sekadar mendikte atau menghakimi. Berbekal pengalamannya di kancah internasional (seperti dalam kelompok negara rentan G7+), ia percaya bahwa pendekatan sosial dan diplomatik yang humanis mampu menyelesaikan konflik secara perlahan.
Di tengah pusaran persaingan kekuatan besar global — mulai dari Australia, Tiongkok, hingga kekuatan regional lainnya — Timor Leste memegang teguh prinsip politik luar negeri yang unik dan menyejukkan:
“Our international policy is not to consider one bigger than other, not to consider one richer than others… We will avoid to have allies, no allies and no enemies. Everybody in the world, near or far away, big or small, rich or poor, we are all brothers.”
Dengan filosofi tanpa sekutu dan tanpa musuh ini, Timor Leste melangkah pasti di bawah kepemimpinan Xanana Gusmão — membawa semangat baru, persahabatan universal, dan tekad kuat untuk membangun masa depan bangsa dari dalam kawasan ASEAN.
