East Timor’s Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao says he will stand for re-election in June.
But he’s not saying who he will be supporting in the country’s Presidential race next month.
Prime Minister Gusmao is wrapping up a six day visit to Australia where he met with his counterpart Julia Gillard and Defence Minister Stephen Smith.
Australia’s contribution of around 400 troops to the International Stabilisation Force in East Timor is set to wind-up later this year.
Speaking in Sydney at the launch of his second book of speeches and writings, Xanana Gusmao says negotiations with Woodside Petroleum on the troubled Sunrise natural gas project are improving.
