The International Court has suspended the Certain
Maritime Arrangement on the Timor Sea (CMATS) and spy scandal cases.
Minister for Natural Resources and Petroleum, Alfredo
Pires affirmed that the suspension was made based on the request made by
Australia asking Timor-Leste to resolve the cases through negotiations.
Mr. Pires said the International court had set 6 months
for Australia and Timor-Leste to resolve these cases.
“The Australian PM and his foreign affairs minister
approached PM Xanana, asking to resolve the cases through negotiations. And we
are ready for that, but need to set the date for the process,” he said.
