Join José Ramos-Horta, President of Timor-Leste and a Nobel Peace Laureate, for an evening on the value of independence. He has dedicated his life to fighting for Timorese freedom from oppression.Tickets: $19.50 - available from the Sydney Opera House
Timor-Leste is one of Australia’s closest neighbours and allies. However, many Australians are not aware of the history of Timor-Leste, the Timorese fight for independence, or how the futures of our respective countries are intertwined.
On the 25th anniversary of Timor-Leste’s historic vote for independence, following years of resistance against foreign occupation, President Ramos-Horta will reflect on the importance and fragility of national independence, and how the stability of the Asia-Pacific region relies on respecting our differences and confronting shared challenges together.
The Australia Institute is delighted to present President José Ramos-Horta for an evening of conversation as part of its 30 Years of Big Ideas.
