The forum highlighted the strong relationship between the two countries during the 22 years and China as a global and regional potential.
President Ramos-Horta highlighted the need for the government to act quickly to improve the conditions for investment, especially in the development of strong investment protection laws. He noted that while the interests of the investor are high, the relevant ministries of Timor-Leste should be accompanied by concrete actions, including addressing the concerns about double.
During the event, several investment opportunities were presented in Timor-Leste for Chinese businesses, covering sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism. The Timorese delegation highlighted the strategic location of the country, youth workforce, and natural resources as the main advantage for potential investors. The Chinese participants showed a particular interest in Timor-Leste's plan for economic diversification and sustainable development.

The support that China has for Timor-Leste is strengthened by the President of China, the Prime Minister and the General Council who demonstrate their own views and commitment to helping Timor-Leste.
Therefore he requested for the national private sector in both countries to put their hands together to make investment efforts that can help the development of the new country of Timor-Leste," said the Vice-Prime-Minister and the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs and Minister of Tourism and Environment Francisco Kalbuadi Lay in his speech.
