East Timor and the United Kingdom

This is the list of the British ambassadors in East Timor .

background

Before the Second World War, an honorary consul represented Great Britain and Australia in Portuguese Timor . David Ross , who had been an airline representative for Qantas in Dili since April 1941 , was officially accepted as consul by the Portuguese government on December 10, 1941. It was the British response to the dispatch of a consul from Japan to Dili.

With the independence of East Timor in 2002, the UK office in Dili's Pantai Kelapa district was converted into an official embassy. However, like other diplomatic missions around the world, it was closed in July 2006 as part of cost-cutting measures. In 2007, Tina Redshaw , the last British ambassador in Dili, handed over responsibility to her counterpart in Jakarta, Indonesia .
