1. (SBU) Summary: Ambassador Hans Klemm presented his letter of 
credence to President Jose Ramos-Horta on July 4 in a ceremony 
hosted at the President's office.  In a meeting following the 
ceremony, both vowed to strengthen bilateral relations. 
Ramos-Horta expressed his appreciation for U.S. support since 
Timor's independence vote, and Ambassador Klemm relayed our 
continued commitment to ensuring the country's long term 
success.  The conversation also touched on smooth conduct of the 
June 30 elections and the negotiations regarding government 
formation that now must take place since no party gained a 
majority.  On this issue, Ramos-Horta said that he is engaged in 
discussions with all the parties regarding next steps. 
Ramos-Horta used the opportunity to make a specific appeal to 
the Ambassador for US assistance in order to expand educational 
opportunities for Timorese students. End summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Ambassador Hans Klemm presented his letter of credence 
to President Jose Ramos-Horta on July 4 in a ceremony held at 
the President's office at the Palace of Ashes.  Following the 
formal ceremony, the Ambassador and President met to discuss 
U.S.-East Timor relations and current issues in East Timor. 
Ramos-Horta remarked on the excellent relations that have 
existed between the countries since East Timor voted for 
independence in 1999, noting that USAID was the biggest employer 
in Timor Leste in 2000 due to its quick impact projects.  In 
this vein, Ramos-Horta emphasized the need for continued U.S. 
support for East Timor's development, particularly in rural 
development, youth employment, justice, and infrastructure.  The 
Ambassador emphasized the USG's commitment to supporting East 
Timor's democratic and economic development.  He stressed the 
particular importance we place on addressing land and property 
issues, both to encourage investment and economic growth, and 
towards the resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDP). 
 
3. (SBU) Ambassador Klemm relayed his congratulations for the 
smooth and peaceful conduct of the June 30 parliamentary 
elections and the ongoing ballot counting process, noting the 
professionalism and seriousness with which Timorese election 
officials at all levels carried out their duties.  Given the 
weak capacity of many Timorese public institutions, the 
Ambassador urged that a way be found to tap the civic commitment 
of young Timorese that he witnessed on Election Day. 
Ramos-Horta gave credit to the Technical Secretariat for 
Election Administration (STAE) and the National Election 
Commission (CNE).  He singled out STAE in particular, which he 
has previously targeted for sharp criticism as lacking 
impartiality, to commend them for a job well done.  In addition, 
he cited the critical assistance provided by the UN and the 
International Stabilization Force (ISF) both in ensuring 
security and providing much needed logistical support. 
 
4. (SBU) Ramos-Horta informed the Ambassador that in light of 
the emerging elections results pointing to the necessity of a 
coalition government, he has begun informal discussions with the 
various parties to consult with them on the next steps.  He 
indicated that he would start by calling the largest party 
(FRETILIN with about 29%) to see if it could pull together a 
majority coalition, and then go from there.  (Comment: other 
mission sources have since indicated that Ramos-Horta may be 
shifting away from a focus on the largest party and instead 
towards the party most able to assemble a majority coalition - 
that is unlikely to be FRETILIN.  End comment.)  In addition, 
the president said he wants to establish a consultative 
mechanism with all parties, even those who received insufficient 
votes to be represented in Parliament.  Referring to the three 
percent threshold required for parliamentary representation, he 
estimated that about 40,000 voters, around 10 percent of the 
national total, voted for parties that would not be in 
parliament, so a way must be found to include them.  In 
addition, Ramos-Horta described at some length his plans to 
establish a permanent youth parliament for high school age 
youth, in order both to engage the younger generation in 
politics and to provide a venue for their voices to be heard. 
 
5. (SBU) Ramos-Horta made a specific appeal to the Ambassador 
for US assistance to open up greater overseas educational 
opportunities for Timorese students.  In particular, he 
requested that we focus resources on assisting Timorese students 
to complete their studies at schools in other countries in the 
region.  He said that he has discussed with Philippine President 
 
DILI 00000251  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
Arroyo an arrangement whereby Timorese students would complete 
secondary and undergraduate studies in the Philippines, with the 
GOET covering most expenses, but the GOP arranging for tuition 
and fees.  Noting that students would be receiving an 
English-language education based on the American system, he 
expressed his hope that the USG might become a supporting 
partner in this initiative.  He relayed his great appreciation 
for USG scholarship programs that send students to the US, but 
cited their relative expense.  Regional or trilateral 
initiatives hold the promise of supporting the education of 
Timorese students in much greater numbers, suggested the 
president.
