Acting Prime Minister Hermenegildo Pereira said education and health were important sectors for Timor-Leste. The acting prime minister made the comments after meeting President of the Republic, talking about the activities of Government’s institutions last Friday. 

Pereira affirmed that, these two sectors were very important for the country’s development; therefore two ministers for these sectors would go with the president of the republic for overseas visit. 

“President of the republic is going to visit New York and Portugal; therefore the two ministers can accompany the president to see education and health progresses in those countries,” he said.
