AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Haze and Schools: Wildfires in Indonesia are spreading toxic smoke across Southeast Asia, reaching Timor-Leste and forcing schools to close. In Palangkaraya, hundreds of students protested, calling for emergency action as the haze threatens children and other vulnerable people. Lusophone Arts: Macau’s Lusofonia Festival and China–Portuguese-speaking Countries arts festival opened with nearly 50 programmes, including music, dance, film and exhibitions. Living Conditions: Timor-Leste’s poverty rate fell from 48.4% in 2014 to 37% in 2024, while access to electricity, safe water, sanitation, housing and education improved. Regional Culture: The film Seas Unbroken brings creatives from all 11 ASEAN countries, including Timor-Leste, together to celebrate the region’s shared stories and cultural diversity.
