East Timorese president Jose Ramos-Horta has criticised Solomon Island’s Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare over his security pact with Beijing while urging “serious” pacific leaders to be “sensitive” to their neighbours.
“Don’t bring in extraterritorial, regional, interest powers that might not be welcomed by our neighbours,” Ramos-Horta, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and president of East Timor, said at the National Press Club on Sept. 7.
