Timor-Leste Prime Minister and Minister of Defense and Security Kayrala Xanana Gusmao has said Monday that recent letter of Australian Minister Natural Resources to Timor-Leste’s Secretary of State for Natural Resources Alfredo Pires is a threat to Timor-Leste.

“The Australian Minister for Natural Resources sent a letter to us and the content of the letter can be considered as a threat; I have instructed our Secretary of State for Natural Resources to reply that who is afraid of whom,” said Gusmao during a consultation meeting with local people in Lospalos, Lautem.

According to Gusmao, the pipeline from Bayu Undan has been taken to Australia and therefore the pipeline from the Greater Sunrise should be taken to Timor-Leste. “We know that Bayu Undan’s pipelines have been taken to Australian and therefore the pipelines from the Greater Sunrise should be taken to Timor-Leste,” he added.

PM Gusmao said that the Timorese Government will continue defending right of the Timorese people. “The Indonesian Foreign Affairs Alli Alatas sign agreement with the Australian Government in a airplane, but it is our right now.” PM Gusmão said. PM Gusmao added that Timorese people should say that they were capable to develop their country although Australia considers we were stupid.

“We should shouted that we are able to develop our country although Australia said that we are still stupid,” PM Gusmão said.

He also called on all people to give hands and struggle with the Woodside company sp that they can install pipeline to the country. “We all should together and have one opinion in order to bring the pipeline og the Greater Sunrise to the country.
