Information
East Timor is the newest country in Asia. Once the scene of frequent conflict, it’s become a place where time flows peacefully by.
But maintaining that peace remains a challenge. Police officers assigned to every village are playing a key role. They’re building a sense of trust among residents.
In this program, we follow local officers working to promote stability in East Timor, and the Japanese policemen who are helping them.
