East Timor – United States relations

East Timor	United States

East Timor–United States relations refer to the bilateral relations between East Timor and the United States.

History

The US supported Indonesia's invasion and occupation of East Timor in 1975.

Timor-Leste maintains an embassy in Washington, D.C., as well as a Permanent Mission in New York City at the United Nations. The United States has a large bilateral development assistance program, $20.6 million in 2007, and also contributes funds as a major member of a number of multilateral agencies such as the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank. The U.S. Peace Corps has operated in Timor-Leste since 2002, but it suspended operations in May 2006 due to unrest and instability.

The U.S. embassy in Timor-Leste is located at Praia de Coqueiros, Dili. Donna Ann Welton is the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. Marc Weinstock is the Deputy Chief of Mission. Mark Anthony White is the USAID Mission Director. Roberto Quiroz is the Political/Economic/Commercial Affairs Officer. Major Aaron Harris is the Office of Defense Cooperation chief.

Aid
