history

East Timor and Myanmar established diplomatic relations on September 26, 2006.

The East Timorese Nobel Peace Prize laureate and then Foreign Minister José Ramos-Horta repeatedly called for the release of the then imprisoned Myanmar Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi . In 2011, as President of Myanmar , Ramos-Horta pledged to support the state's reforms. With regard to the persecution and expulsion of the Rohingya in Myanmar, Ramos-Horta partially defended the now de facto head of government in 2017. Aung San Suu Kyi has taken a position against the human rights violations.

In August 2013 a delegation from Myanmar visited East Timor to find out about the financial system and in particular about resource management. East Timor's Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão visited Myanmar the following month.
