in East Timor (UNTAET) press office on 25 January
A delegation representing East Timor's second transitional government
left for Kupang, Indonesia, today [24 January] to attend a series of
meetings with their West Timorese counterparts.
The two-day visit is part of an ongoing process to foster
reconciliation and facilitate the return of East Timorese refugees still
living in West Timor.
The East Timor government's delegation, which is led by UNTAET's head
of political affairs Colin Stewart, is scheduled to meet tomorrow with
West Timorese officials including West Timor Governor Piet Tallo, head of
police Brig-Gen Jacky Uly and a military commander, Colonel M. Moesanip.
On the second day of their visit the delegation is scheduled to meet
key players helping to bring about reconciliation and refugee returns. The
delegation will return to East Timor on Saturday, 26 February. More than
193,000 refugees have returned to East Timor since October 1999, following
September's violence.
