It also marks 11 years since the first successful international conference, Working Together for East Timor was held in Melbourne in 2003. The Conference will provide an opportunity for individuals and organisations working in, and for, Timor-Leste to share their knowledge and experience and discuss ways of working together to meet the challenges of the next phase of nation-building.
