Minister of the Council of Ministers Presidency Agio Pereira attends a working lunch with young participants of the “Futuru Lider baASEAN” (Future ASEAN Leaders) program led by Vice Minister for ASEAN Affairs Milena Maria da Costa Rangel. The event took place at the Timor Hotel in Dili on July 25, 2024. The main focus of the meeting was the importance of leadership and the role of young people in the future of Timor-Leste and ASEAN.
During the meeting, Agio Pereira touched upon several important aspects of leadership. The Minister defined leadership as the ability to inspire and guide others, fostering collaboration and growth. He stressed that a true leader must be a source of inspiration and support, not just someone who makes decisions. Agio Pereira stressed the importance of ethics and integrity in leadership, noting that the legitimacy of a leader is based on trust and respect.
The Governor stressed the need for young leaders to be involved in developing innovative solutions to challenges in the ASEAN region. He encouraged participants to apply leadership principles such as adaptability, empathy, integrity and vision in their daily actions.
Citing figures such as Xanana Gusmao, highlighting his resilience and commitment in leading and fighting for East Timor’s independence, and Lee Kuan Yew, who transformed Singapore through pragmatic policies and strategic vision, Agio Pereira concluded by encouraging young people to use leadership concepts to promote positive change in their communities and contribute positively to the ASEAN regional landscape.
The “Futuru Líder baASEAN” program is an initiative launched by the Timor-Leste government in April 2024 to train young Timorese leaders to play an important role in national development and regional integration within the ASEAN context. The program aims to develop participants’ leadership capabilities and increase their understanding of ASEAN, promoting greater understanding and contribution to Timor-Leste’s development agenda.
