Aero Dili, the State-owned airline of Timor-Leste, plans to launch a direct flight on Feb 14 between its capital Dili and Xiamen, South-east China's Fujian province.
This will mark the first direct flight route between China and Timor-Leste and the inaugural flight will depart from Dili to Xiamen on Feb 14 and return from Xiamen to Dili on Feb 15. The flight will operate once a week, connecting the two destinations.
Timor-Leste is located on Timor Island, the easternmost part of the Indonesian archipelago in Southeast Asia, with a land area of only 15,000 square kilometers.
Despite its small size, Timor-Leste is beloved by tourists for its unique island landscapes and pristine coral reef resources. In addition, coffee beans are a local specialty, with Timor-Leste's civet coffee being internationally known.
According to the information from the Chinese Consular Service website, Chinese citizens entering Timor-Leste by sea or air can apply for a visa on arrival.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
