Gianyar, Bali (ANTARA News) - Timor Leste President Xanana Gusmao has called for the preservation of the fraternal relations between his country and Indonesia so that their bilateral cooperation would always run well.

"The brotherhood between Indonesia and Timor Leste must be maintained," he said when receiving a Developing Relationship With Peace award from the Blahbatuh Grand Temple in the district of Gianyar, Bali, on Thursday evening.

Xanana said the brotherly relationship between the two countries must be preserved forever so that no conflict would happen between them.

Blahbatuh Grand Temple chief Anak Agung Ngurah Alit Kakarsana meanwhile said Xanana Gusmao had been invited specially to receive the peace award from the temple.

Besides Xanana, two Balinese artists also received the award, namely Ida Bagus Blansinga and Ida Bagus Oka. "On Friday, the award will also be presented to the wife of Tourism and Culture Minister Jero Wacik and the wife of Bali Governor I Made Mangku Pastika," he said.

The two women had contributed to the development of peace through their passion for batik art.
