Korea and Timor-Leste established diplomatic relations on the same day Timor-Leste achieved independence — May 20, 2002. Korea has since been one of the country's development partners, contributing through ODA programs in infrastructure and governance. Despite the small scale of bilateral engagement, the two countries maintain warm relations built on Korea's commitment to supporting post-conflict nation-building.
