years of the occupation of his country he studied and later taught Law at
Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique, while representing the Timorese
independence movement each year at the United Nations. He held the position
of Prime Minister in Timor-Leste from 2002 to 2006 where his greatest
achievement was securing a favourable deal from Australia in relation to oil
and gas in the Timor Sea, and securing the country's financial future with
the establishment of the Petroleum Fund. He is Secretary General of
FRETILIN, the largest party in the Parliament of Timor-Leste, of which he is
a founding member.
