 The opening ceremony we held today on Thursday the 12th of June was to open the Pacific Partnership 2014 here in Timor-Leste, a small part of the grand plan of Pacific Partnership throughout Southeast Asia. The history of the nation are largely Portuguese as a colony, independence in 1999 after 25 years of occupation. So they're an emerging state, they've come out of being a fragile state. United Nations mission ended about two and a half three years ago so they're now at the point where they're finding their feet they're starting to develop capacity building in terms of police, defence, infrastructure, health, education and so on. The Defence Cooperation Programme is responsible for a number of functions we train in specialist areas such as engineering, basic medical, logistics, communications, maritime and English language program and we also advise the Department of Defence in strategy and also governance. The importance of helping them develop a course is they're a very close neighbour to Australia. They were pretty much an ally so to speak during World War II when we're involved here in operations against the Japanese without their help the mission would have been a failure. So to a degree we have a debt of honour to Timor-Leste and of course there is that goodwill that extends to your neighbours. The Pacific Partnership is truly you know it's a great exercise it brings a lot of goodwill. Soldiers, sailors, airmen from America, from New Zealand, Australia, other nations actually get to work in with the local population like in this engineering site here in a medical facility side by side they get to learn a bit of a local language and that's something you wouldn't get on a normal exercise back home.
