AIFAESA, I.P. hosted a two-day National Seminar focused on regulatory reform and Timor-Leste\u2019s post-accession commitments to the WTO and ASEAN. The event brought together senior government representatives, public institutions, academic communities, and key stakeholders to discuss the country\u2019s readiness for regional and global market integration.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at the opening session, the General Coordinator of MCAE Jorge Rui de Carvalho Martins, described Timor-Leste\u2019s accession to the WTO as both \u201ca source of pride and a challenge\u201d, noting the ongoing public debate around its benefits.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He reiterated three core messages such as The significance of Timor-Leste\u2019s accession to the WTO; The implications for national businesses and market access and the IX Constitutional Government\u2019s efforts to address post-accession challenges.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Timor-Leste became a full WTO member on 30 August 2024, joining a rules-based global trading system designed to strengthen trade, investment, and private sector development. He also highlighted the Strategic Vision for Post-Accession (VEPA)\u2014approved on 29 April 2024\u2014as the Government\u2019s roadmap for integrating into 165 country global markets.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Inspector-General of AIFAESA underscored the importance of creating stable and permanent careers for civil servants, emphasizing that institutional strength requires long-term investment in human capital.
\u201cTransforming contracted workers into permanent staff is an investment in the sustainability of public institutions and the quality of services we provide,\u201d he stated.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seminar, jointly organized with TradeInvest Timor-Leste, serves as a national call to prepare for the reforms required in the post-accession phase to both ASEAN and the WTO.
