Timor-Leste will become a develop country after it has implemented its National Strategic Development plan, according to Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao.

“It is common to stay that there is no peace without democracy, but it is no
democracy and consequently there is no peace,” Mr. Gusmao said when he addressed the meeting of Portugues Language Speaking Countries (CPLP) defense Ministry in Fatuhada, Dili last weekend.

“This is why Timor-Leste is committed to implementing its 20-year strategic development plan, which should transform us from being an undeveloped, low
income country by 2030, by making use of all our material and human
potential,” he said.
