Jakarta, 2 August 2024 – The Indonesian Ambassador to Timor-Leste, H.E. Okto Dorinus Manik, paid a visit to the PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin) office at The Telkom Hub on the 16th floor, on Friday, August 2, 2024. The visit was warmly welcomed by Telin Chief Finance and Risk Management Officer, Doni Andriansyah, Telin Chief Technology Officer, Abdul Rahman Ansyori, Telin SVP Governance and Compliance Group, G.E. Dhany Widjajanta and other senior leaders of the company. This visit served to strengthen the relations between the two entities, following the recent visit by Telin's Board of Directors to the Indonesian Embassy in Dili, Timor-Leste. 

During the visit, Ambassador Okto Dorinus Manik provided updates on the current investment and economic situation in Timor-Leste, highlighting the importance of continued cooperation between Indonesia and Timor-Leste. 

One of the significant projects discussed was the Cross Border Cable project between Indonesia and Timor-Leste. This project is rooted in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on January 24, 2024, between the two countries' respective ministries, which encompasses cooperation in areas such as radio communication, telecommunication services, informatics application, and postal and courier services. 

The project aims to enhance Telkomcel's coverage and promote a more robust telecommunications ecosystem. Additionally, Telkomcel has outlined several programs to improve telecommunications services in Timor-Leste, including to improve customer service quality by minimizing disruptions and speeding up recovery times, increasing national efficiency and productivity, mitigating security risks during national events, and providing sufficient internet access in key locations to support such events.  

This initiative underscores the commitment of both nations to enhance their telecommunications infrastructure, fostering improved connectivity and mutual cooperation. Telin, through Telkomcel, is dedicated to delivering exceptional services and enhancing connectivity in Timor-Leste.
