East Timor - Australia Fisheries Cooperation
Given our geographical proximity, there are many fisheries issues of mutual interest and concern for East Timor and Australia. Australia hopes to facilitate a regional dialogue amongst its regional neighbours, and East Timor’s involvement will be valued, particularly as its fisheries and aquaculture industries develop. To this end, Australia invited both Indonesia and East Timor to participate in regional fisheries talks in September 2002, as part of the Northern Fisheries Management Workshop. All three countries agreed that it was important to continue and expand upon this forum in the future.
