Gabinete do Primeiro Ministro

Xanana Gusmão, a name synonymous with Timorese resilience, echoed within the Gabinete do Primeiro Ministro. This very building has witnessed Timor-Leste’s tumultuous journey. From the fight for independence to the birth of a nation, the Gabinete do Primeiro Ministro stands as a silent observer. The Gabinete do Primeiro Ministro, the office of the Prime Minister, is more than just bricks and mortar. It is the heart of Timor-Leste’s government. It is a symbol of the nation’s hard-won sovereignty. Did you know that Xanana Gusmão, the current Prime Minister, also held this position from 2007 to 2015? His return marks a new chapter in Timor-Leste’s story, a story that unfolds within these very walls. In April 2014, this very office announced Gusmão’s working visit to Perth, Australia. The purpose? To gather support for the Special Air Service Resource Fund. This fund assists members and former members of the regiment, and their dependents. The SAS played a crucial role in securing Dili’s airport in 1999, paving the way for INTERFET’s safe entry. Gusmão, a former commander-in-chief of Timor-Leste’s resistance forces, spoke at the event, honoring the SAS regiment’s contribution to the nation’s birth. The Gabinete do Primeiro Ministro isn’t just about politics and policies. It’s about people, their struggles, and their triumphs. It is a testament to the spirit of Timor-Leste, a nation rising from the ashes of conflict, striving for a brighter future.
