Presentation of the Event: Fitun Fest International Timor-Leste by AEGCTL

Dili, June 23, 2025 – The Association of Entrepreneurship and Cultural Management (AEGCTL) met with the Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr. Nino Pereira, to present the event Fitun Fest International Timor-Leste Único 2025, at the office of the Minister of MCI, Fomento Mandarin Dili.

In this context, the Association of Entrepreneurship and Cultural Management created FITUN FEST, an international festival that serves as a symbolic celebration of the history, quality, and identity of Timorese people around the world and aims to promote the country's development.

The year 2025 will be an important milestone for Timor-Leste, with highlights such as the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Unilateral Proclamation of Independence of RDTL, the hosting of the 12th CPLP Sports Games, and Timor-Leste’s accession to ASEAN. The event positions Timor-Leste as a unique space of convergence between the Lusophone world and Southeast Asia, providing a historic opportunity for the reestablishment of its cultural identity and the affirmation of its role as a bridge between culture and civilization.

FITUN FEST 2025 is a unique platform to celebrate and promote cultural diversity, foster social cohesion, and project the cultural richness of Timor-Leste onto the international stage. The event was designed in alignment with the Strategic Development Plan of Timor-Leste 2011–2030, fits within the Program of the IX Constitutional Government, and is linked to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
