On the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue Summit, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, met with the President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, José Ramos-Horta, for the first time in the history of these bilateral relations.
The Ukrainian Head of State thanked the President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste for supporting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and the important UN resolutions condemning Russia's aggression.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the significance of the participation of Southeast Asian countries in the Global Peace Summit and thanked José Manuel Ramos-Horta for confirming his participation in the event.
“It is very important for us to begin the process of establishing just peace. Russia does not want to stop the war. Therefore, together with the entire world, we must take steps to bring peace closer,” the President of Ukraine said.
He noted that one of the key issues of the Summit would be the provision of the Peace Formula on food security.
The Ukrainian leader expressed his readiness to develop bilateral cooperation with Timor-Leste, especially in the field of agricultural products supply, and invited the President of Timor-Leste to visit Ukraine.
