Indonesia–Timor-Leste Talks and Australia's Stakes
Indonesia's decision to open maritime talks with Timor-Leste has brought Australia's Timor Sea stakes back into focus.
In August 2025, Indonesia began negotiations on its maritime boundary with Timor-Leste, marking a shift from its previous stance that maritime boundaries should only be discussed after land borders are settled.
This move highlights the balance Southeast Asian states must strike between historical treaties, economic stakes, and evolving legal norms, with potential outcomes that could affect Canberra's position in the Timor Sea.
