Headquarters, January 6, 2025. The National Flag Raising Ceremony of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (RDTL) was held for the first time in January 2025 at the Fatuhada Headquarters in Dili. After the national flag raising ceremony, the Chief of the General Staff of FALINTIL-FDTL, Lieutenant General Domingos Raúl “FALUR RATE LAEK” as Inspector of the ceremony said, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. “You celebrate the new year by saying goodbye to the old year with your family and friends that we make a good reflection in each family and institution, so that in this new year we can improve better”. He also stressed that after the new year, we immediately received a major problem, especially flooding in the Naval Component of the F-FDTL that we also express our solidarity with the Naval Component. Our motto is to modernize and professionalize. With this strength we can do this, so we do the work to improve first in the present to continue a safe future, if we think first about the future we will make mistakes in the present. Here I want to say just two words like Tranquility and Serenity, Tranquility because our spirit of patriotism and nationalism rises, serenity because we are Christians as believers. “At the meeting of the Superior Council for Defense and Security, our high authorities of Timor-Leste congratulated and appreciated us, especially the security operations during important visits, especially in 2024”, concluded the Lieutenant General.
