The Special Committee on the Situation with Regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (C24) decided that the 2025 C24 Pacific Regional Conference will be held in Dili, Timor-Leste, from 21 to 23 May 2025.
Reacting to the announcement, Timor-Leste took the floor to thank the Chair, Members of the Bureau, Members of the Committee, and Observers, for the trust placed in Timor-Leste to host the 2025 Pacific Regional Seminar.
Timor-Leste is deeply honored for this gesture that not only recognizes its resilience and dedication to the principles of self-determination and decolonization but also reinforces the collaborative spirit that binds the community.
Timor-Leste stands ready to provide a nurturing and inspiring environment for the dialogue, reflection, and strategic planning that the seminar warrants, and to collaborate, support, and celebrate with everyone towards a future where decolonization is not just a goal but a lived reality for all.
Timor-Leste firmly believes that collective efforts can overcome the enduring challenges of decolonization, foster sustainable development, and ensure that every voice is both heard and respected.
