Timor-Leste–Turkey relations are the foreign relations between Timor-Leste and Turkey. The Turkish ambassador in Jakarta, Indonesia is also accredited to Timor-Leste since 2003.[1]
Turkey and Timor-Leste cooperate through the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, where Turkey became an Associate Observer.[1]
Diplomatic relations
Turkey has assisted Timor-Leste under the Frente Revolucionária de Timor-Leste Independente government in developing agriculture.[2] Even though improving agricultural productivity is a stated priority for the government, only 2% of the government budget has been allocated to agriculture.[3]
In response to the lack of support for agricultural development, Turkey has initially cooperated with Bishop Alberto Ricardo da Silva of Dili, by providing food to south-eastern districts during a drought in January 2005.[4] Following this assistance, Turkey, cooperating with the United Nations, started initiatives including rehabilitation and reconstruction of irrigation[2] systems, introduction of water harvesting techniques, wider distribution[5] of improved seeds of cereal crops, fruits and vegetables, livestock health, aquaculture projects, and sustainable management of forests and other natural resources.[6]
