Press Release
Meeting of the Council of Ministers, August 12th, 2014
The Government met this Tuesday, August 12th, 2014, in the Council of Ministers’ meeting room, at the Government Palace in Díli, and approved:
1. Government Resolution, approving the strengthening of the support to Guinea Bissau, in order to ensure the normal functioning of the State institutions
Following the active support that Timor-Leste has been providing to Guinea Bissau, on the process for normalization of the political and institutional life and the construction of a peace and stability environment in this country, the Government of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste has decided to contribute with a month of salaries to Guinean public servants, worthing six million American dollars. This financial support is assured against the sending of a report on the implementation of the transfer.
This decision is taken considering the solidarity towards this country, member of the CPLP, and the importance that the payment of salaries to public service has in the strategy of Guinea Bissau towards good governance, as well as towards peace maintenance and national stability.
