RI Sambut Baik Terpilihnya Ramos Horta
Jakarta, (Analisa)
Indonesia menyambut baik terpilihnya Ramos Horta sebagai Perdana Menteri (PM)
Timor Leste yang baru menggantikan Mari Alkatiri yang baru-baru ini
mengundurkan diri di tengah konflik dan krisis politik serta keamananan yang
terjadi negara itu.
Sementara itu, PM yang baru Ramos Horta meminta Presiden Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono membuka kembali perbatasan antara Timor Leste dan Indonesia guna
memulihkan kegiatan ekonomi masyarakat Timor Leste.
Seperti dikemukan Jubir Kepresidenan Dino Patti Djalal di Kantor Kepresiden,
Jakarta, Senin (10/7), Presiden Yudhoyono sekitar pukul 11.00 WIB telah
menelpon PM Ramos Horta yang baru saja dilantik pada sekitar pukul 10 waktu
Timor Leste.
"Presiden menyatakan selamat atas terpilihnya dan pelantikan Ramos Horta yang
sebagai PM merupakan teman baik Presiden Yudhoyono," ujar Dino.
Dalam pecakapannya via telepon, lanjutnya, Presiden Yudhoyono juga mengutarakan
harapan agar PM Horta dapat melakukan tugas dengan serta memajukan rekonsiliasi
sehingga dapat menyelesaikan masalah di Timor Leste.
Presiden juga, menurut Dino, percaya bahwa Ramos Horta dapat menjalankan tugas
dengan baik, mengingat Horta memiliki reputasi internasional yang sangat baik,
sebagai seorang penerima hadiah Nobel, dan dihormati di dalam negerinya.
"Dengan modal tersebut diharapkan Ramos Horta menjadi figur yang tepat untuk
bekerjasama dengan Presiden Xanana menyelesaikan persoalan dalam negeri Timor
Leste," katanya.
Semenetara itu, PM Ramos Horta seperti dikemukan Dino, ketika melakukan
percakapan dengan Presiden Yudhoyono menyatakan keinginannya untuk datang ke
Jakarta guna bertemu dengan Presiden Yudhoyono dalam waktu dekat.
"Keinginan tersebut disetujui Presiden dan waktunya sedang diatur Kementerian
Luar Negeri masing-masing," kata Dino.
Horta juga meminta Indonesia untuk membuka perbatasan di Timor Barat dan Timor
Leste serta di Oecussi (wilayah pebatasan), karena dinilai waktunya sudah tepat
untuk menghidupkan kembali kegiatan ekonomi terutama perdagangan di daerah
perbatasan.
"Ini dirasakan sangat penting bagi stabilitas dan kesejahteraan masyarakat di
Timor Leste. Presiden menyetujuinya dan menyatakan akan segera melakukan
langkah-langkah untuk membuka perbatasan antara Timor Barat dan Timor Leste
serta Oicussi," katanya.
Walaupun menyatakan dirinya belum tahu secara teknis tentang pembukaan
pebatasan antara Indonesia dan Timor Leste namun Dino mengisyaratkan
persetujuan Presiden agar perbatasan itu dibuka kembali, karena kondisi
keamanan dinilai sudah kondusif. (Ant)

Horta to drive gas deal
Stephen Fitzpatrick in Dili, East Timor
July 11, 2006
JOSE Ramos Horta has been sworn in as East Timor's Prime Minister and
immediately vowed to pass legislation ratifying a deal with Australia on the
exploitation of natural gas in the Timor Sea.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said last night the renewed stability could
see Australian troops withdrawing from Dili within weeks.
The Greater Sunrise agreement, signed by Mr Ramos Horta and Mr Downer in Sydney
in January in a ceremony witnessed by John Howard and Mr Ramos Horta's
predecessor, Mari Alkatiri, could see East Timor pocketing up to $13billion
from Australia over the project's lifetime.
However, it has yet to be ratified in the Dili parliament, due to opposition
from the ruling Fretilin party and other groups who feel it concedes too much
to Canberra.
Mr Ramos Horta admitted yesterday the delay had damaged East Timor's
credibility.
"We cannot be known as a country that signs agreements and then doesn't ratify
them. Our credibility as a state and as a government is at stake," he said
after being inaugurated by President Xanana Gusmao in a ceremony attended by
foreign dignitaries including Australian ambassador Margaret Toomey and the
Australian head of the multinational peacekeeping force, Brigadier Mick Slater.
"It sends a very bad signal to other governments, so this Government will look
at the ratification as one of the priority issues."
Woodside said yesterday that while Mr Ramos Horta's reported remarks
represented a change in attitude in Dili it would wait until the agreement was
ratified both in Dili and Canberra before resuming work on Greater Sunrise.
Mr Horta said his cabinet, to be sworn in tomorrow would immediately meet to
consider a proposed $US315 million ($420 million) budget "which we might
review" and that he would then address the troubled tender process for national
reconstruction and infrastructure projects.
He said he would "seek expert advice from those who know, like the World Bank,
the IMF and other advisers" on how to fast-track this process.
Speaking in both of East Timor's national languages, Portuguese and Tetum, Mr
Ramos Horta promised to provide an economic kickstart in the cash-starved
regions outside Dili.
"We are going to mobilise all our financial and human resources to rapidly
revitalise economic activity in those regions, through small projects that will
have a rapid impact," he said.
Mr Ramos Horta argued that the collapsed government of Dr Alkatiri had
"registered notable progress in many areas" including establishing a new legal
framework and the reaching of "important agreements with our neighbours".
However, he admitted there had been significant failings.
"In a short time we managed to create by us and for us, a bureaucratic
stranglehold that undermines our best intentions and political decisions and
opens the door to corruption," he said.
Sworn in alongside Mr Ramos Horta were two deputy prime ministers, Estanislau
da Silva and Rui Araujo, in a deal hammered out after two weeks of negotiations
with Fretilin.
Mr Downer said he believed the situation would now stabilise substantially.
"We'll be able to have another look in the next few weeks at the level of
troops we have there and the kind of support we're providing," he said. "I
don't want us to turn our backs on them but we can start thinking about those
issues of downsizing our presence there."
