"Our means and conditions are like this, we follow that, but when our conditions are good, when we practice we put it into practice to fulfill this mission well in the future", he declared.
He added that during this period our Australian partners have always supported the FALINTIL Command - Timor-Leste Defense Force, so they have a duty to support the F-FDTL Institution.
"You prepare well and train well, we can contribute, we train to do what, to minimize the risk, when we don't want to train the risk for us is great", he said.
Lieutenant Colonel TOFA also asked the military to train seriously, because the FALINTIL-FDTL Institution trusts the Military, the Components and Units also trust, the Nation and the Government also trust the members of FALINTIL-FDTL, so the training is simple but its risk is great.
"You continue training and tomorrow we will close, tomorrow you finish, but not only here, we will also fulfill the mission, returning is normal, because the military's job is this until the end", he said.
