Filthylucre that’s very encouraging to read.
"The signing of the agreement is a signal that the Greater Sunrise development is going ahead, and the long-standing claim by the Timor side that the pipeline should come to Timor-Leste is going to be a reality, supported by the study by Wood," said Ramos-Horta.
"Now, finally, it's going to happen, starting with the gas industry, which will generate possibilities for a fertilizer industry and fertilizer plants, which will aim for the world market, but also for our country's needs in terms of our strategic policy to make Timor-Leste self-sufficient in agriculture to double or triple our agriculture output," enthused the president.
For Ramos-Horta, the benefits for the JV partner to opt to build the LNG plant on Timor-Leste, is something of a no-brainer.
The president also had some words which will be particularly welcomed by those at the top of Woodside's gleaming HQ office block.
"Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão had been very emphatic, even in private conversations, that he prefers very much to continue to work with existing partners and no new partners," said Ramos-Horta.
