history

On June 21, 2000, UNTAET and the CNRT agreed to reorganize the NCC. Basis the UNTAET regulation No. 2000/24 ​​of July 14, 2000.

The first meeting of the NC took place on October 23, 2000. At the first meeting, Xanana Gusmão was elected spokesman for the NC. On March 29, 2001, Xanana Gusmão surprisingly resigned his office as spokesman and his mandate in the NC. Manuel Carrascalão, the business representative in the NC, took over the chairmanship for him. The previous Foreign Minister, José Ramos-Horta, succeeded the CNRT as a representative .

Since many members of the NC wanted to participate in the elections for the constituent assembly on August 30, 2001, the NC was dissolved on July 14, 2001. When East Timor was granted independence on May 20, 2002, the constituent assembly became the East Timor’s National Parliament .
