East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta has thanked Australia for its continued assistance towards his country after receiving an honorary doctorate from Southern Cross University.
Dr Ramos-Horta was on Thursday recognised by the Lismore, NSW-based university for his ongoing contribution to human rights issues and awareness in Timor-Leste.
"Australia has been a most generous neighbour of Timor-Leste," Dr Ramos-Horta said in a statement.
"The commitment Australia has made to Timor-Leste since 1999 we cannot quantify in terms of money.
"Today, Timor-Leste is at peace and political tension is almost non-existent."
Dr Ramos-Horta is on a five-day visit to Australia and is due to give a speech at the University of Sydney later on Thursday.
