To support Timor-Leste’s upcoming accession to ASEAN, Singapore will launch a customised enhanced Singapore-Timor-Leste ASEAN Readiness Support (eSTARS) Package, which will run from July 2025 till December 2028. The package will include access to ASEAN-related training courses and expertise. Beyond the ambit of ASEAN, the eSTARS Package will also offer scholarships, capacity building programmes, and customised leadership training for Timor-Leste officials.
