Rome – East Timorese activist Josi Ramos Horta has said that the president of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace, Roman Catholic Church Cardinal Etchegeray, was "deeply concerned" with the lack of school and professional education for the East Timorese youth. Ramos Horta made his comments on Tuesday after a 30-minute meeting with Etchegeray. The Cardinal visited East Timor in February 1996 and attended the awarding ceremony of Nobel Peace Prize to Ramos Horta and East Timorese Bishop D. Ximenes Belo on December 10 in Oslo. East Timor where the majority of the population is Catholic, was invaded by Indonesia in 1975 and annexed one year later but the United Nations still regards Portugal as the territorys administering power.
