25th Anniversary of Australia’s Liberation of Timor-Leste – Lest we forget.

25th Anniversary of Australia’s Liberation of Timor-Leste

Today marks 25 years since the Australian-led mission commenced on the 20th of September 1999, bringing hope, peace, and freedom to the people of Timor-Leste after years of conflict and oppression. It was on this day that Australian troops, as part of INTERFET, took the lead in restoring peace and order, standing alongside the Timorese in their struggle for independence.

This mission demonstrated Australia’s commitment to justice, security, and human rights in our region. Our brave men and women in uniform worked tirelessly, facing incredible challenges, but their efforts helped pave the way for Timor-Leste’s independence, celebrated today as one of the youngest and most resilient nations in the world.

As we reflect on this historic event, we remember the courage of the Timorese people, the dedication of our troops, and the international cooperation that made liberation possible. We honour those who served and those who sacrificed, ensuring that future generations in Timor-Leste could enjoy the freedom and peace that was hard-won.

Today, let’s take a moment to reflect on the significance of this mission and its lasting legacy in shaping the bond between Australia and Timor-Leste.

Lest we forget.
