Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao has made comments regarding Timor-Leste’s inclusion of Portuguese Language Community (CPLP), saying no benefits which the country gains from CPLP. PM Xanana said mostly CPLP’s programs were about history, language and culture.
“CPLP is up to now only talking on culture, language and history. But in fact the world is currently talking about money,” he said.
He affirmed that Timor-Leste had been joining CPLP for few years, but he had never seen any benefit for each country which was joining it and said CPLP had only wasted time talking about its history.
Xanana added that if CPLP would keep up with the history and that would impact CPLP state members’ economy.
Blogger's note:
Well-noted, Your Excellency. It is time to remind old friends to follow the changing of time. CPLP could be a powerful economic bloc, there are Brasil, Angola, Macau and TL. But there are two questions: what is GoTL's proposal on this? how about TL's bid to join the Commonwealth countries?
