Timor-Leste's PR calls for unity for sustainable development

José Ramos-Horta, the President of Timor-Leste, called for unity among Timorese to foster peace and sustainable development, marking the 35th anniversary of the Santa Cruz massacre. He emphasized the importance of remembering the struggle for independence while promoting national identity and solidarity. Ramos-Horta urged the youth to embrace technology and education, positioning them as current agents of change rather than future leaders. The Santa Cruz massacre, a significant event in Timor-Leste's history, resulted in numerous deaths during a protest against Indonesian forces in 1991.
