Timor-Leste, roughly the size of the state of Kelantan, is situated in Southeast Asia between Indonesia and Australia. In February 2024, Timor-Leste officially became the 166th member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). In 2022, Timor-Leste was admitted “in principle” to ASEAN with the country moving towards full membership.
Over the course of the last twenty years, Timor-Leste has warmly welcomed many Malaysian entrepreneurs, who have established and continue to operate their business; and provide employment to a substantial number of Timorese. To date, there are some 200 Malaysian business entities registered in Timor-Leste.
With an abundance of natural resources, Timor-Leste offers a variety of opportunities across industry sectors such as gas & oil resources, renewable energy, fisheries, agriculture and services. For more information on Timor-Leste, you may read MASSA’s feature on Timor-Leste compiled by the Embassy of Malaysia in Timor-Leste.
Cognisant of the developments in Timor-Leste, MASSA has tapped on the insights of various expert resource persons amongst others, H.E. Ambassador of Malaysia to Timor-Leste and the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) and Trade Investment Timor-Leste amongst others, to share their insights and observations at this webinar. This 21 August webinar aims to provide an overview and the potential business opportunites in Timor-Leste that Malaysian businesses can tap into.
