The Prime Minister delivered the opening address to a packed room of approximately 700 participants and highlighted the political vision and the potential of the Blue Economy Policy and Action Plan. Detailed and technical presentations followed focusing on the Blue Economy’s priorities and opportunities to drive national development, support marine biodiversity and conservation, and ensure long-term environmental sustainability.
Following the presentations, the Municipal Authorities, Community Leaders and other key stakeholders took part in question-and-answer sessions and were also able to submit written contributions to ensure their voices and priorities of the communities they represent are reflected in the final policy.
The Government of Timor-Leste recognises the essential role of local leaders and communities in shaping the future of the nation’s marine resources and encourages broad participation in this public consultation.
The next phase of the public consultations on the Blue Economy: Policy and Action Plan for the Promotion of a Resilient and Sustainable Ocean Economy in Timor-Leste 2025–2035 will take place in 2026 and will consist of country-wide public consultations throughout all municipalities led by the Prime Minister.
