East Timor or Timor-Leste ,officially the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste,[6] is a country in Southeast Asia, and not a part of Indonesia. It comprises the eastern half of the island of Timor. East Timor was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century, and was known as Portuguese Timor until Portugal's decolonization of the country. In late 1975, East Timor declared its independence but later that year was declared Indonesia's 27th province the following year. In 1999, following the United Nations-sponsored act of self-determination, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory, and East Timor became the first new sovereign state of the 21st century on May 20, 2002. After independence, East Timor became a member of the United Nations . East Timor was expected to have the sixth-largest percentage growth in GDP in the world for 2013.
